Summit Loop

Summit Loop is a mountain biking route in the Laramie Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The trail's elevation doesn't change much along its length, with the low and high points both around 8,850 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie show July highs around 81°F and lows near 52°F. That station sits well below the loop, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Van's Loop, a cross-country skiing route, lies about 0.1 mile away, and the Headquarters National Recreation Trail, another mountain biking route, is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can head to Beehive Buttress, about 0.5 mile away, and Pole Creek Group Campground is about 1.2 miles out.
