summit hike
Climb to top
A summit hike is a trek whose goal is reaching a mountain's peak.
The term emphasizes the destination rather than the journey—you're not just walking in the mountains, you're aiming for the top: We did a summit hike up Mount Baldy.
Summit hikes vary from moderate day trips to technical climbs requiring gear and experience.
