Summerland Trail to Panhandle Gap

Leave a Comment / By /
Overview:

One of the most underrated hikes in the park — old-growth forest giving way to wildflower meadows and rocky alpine terrain, following a section of the famous 93-mile Wonderland Trail. Firsthand-verified by Gretchen, genuinely quieter than the trails near Paradise.
