Summit Lake rests at just over 9,500 feet at a mountain pass directly across the basin from Gallatin Peak (11,015 feet). The lake stays frozen until summer comes to stay, and there are some alpine campsites nearby. Being so far from any trailheads, this lake can offer some feelings of remoteness and solitude.
