    The old Hwy 40 passed through this summmit at 7135 ft elevation, still today the Donner Pass Road. Fast and heavy traffic of course goes over the I-80 interstate freeway a couple of miles north.
    Also the site of German BierGarten Restaurant "Summit Haus" open from mid June to Labor Day (early September) 11am-4pm, part of Sugar Bowl Resort
