Summit Central

Has the most beginner-friendly green runs.

The Pacific Crest Trail extends all the way to Canada and Mexico. Building the trail north of the pass required substantial blasting of the rock, creating the narrow Kendall Katwalk cut into the steep cliffs, about four miles down the trail (8 miles roundtrip, 2,600 feet elevation gain).

Multi-use trail extending from North Bend to Idaho. This entrance is near a repurposed railroad tunnel that cuts under the pass. The 2.3-mile tunnel rarely climbs over 50°F (10°C), making it a welcome respite from summer heat. Bring a headlamp (or two, just in case), as the tunnel is completely unlit.

Has predominately moderate blue runs.
