Summit Rock Loop

This 2.5 mile loop is a beautiful scenic hike off skyline boulevard. This trail is one of the more popular and crowded trails, especially on weekends. The deep woods and pretty rock formations make for a relaxing hike that is relatively moderate. Parking is probably the only real challenge of this hike because the space for cars is limited. The park is near a shooting range so it can be loud at times and dogs are welcome but must be on leash. The trail is mostly shaded and can get hilly at parts so its important to bring water in case you get tired on the uphill sections. The trails is very woodsy and has everything a hiker could ask for except a view of the valley. It gets dark quickly under the thickness of the trees so its best to hike this trail earlier in the day1 Great beginners hike and well worth the drive.
