The first two miles of the four-mile-long Summit Trail are open for use. The latter two miles connecting to the Maah Daah Hey Trail are severely weather damaged and are closed for safety reasons. However, for a quick hike, the 1/4-mile Summit Viewpoint Trail offers a spectacular view of the scenic landscape.
