No current residents .The site of Summit City is located in a remote canyon.Go east down Highway 88 until you come to Red Lake,go down Blue Lakes Road for about 20 miles until you reach the Summit City Canyon Trailhead hike down to the bottom of the canyon to the town site. REMAINS: A few rock and wood foundations. |
| Summit City in its heyday had 600 people living there.It was a gold mining camp.In 1861 there was a observatory built on the peak of Round Top Mountain over looking the Summit City canyon.Summit City was abandoned when the gold ran out. Submitted by: Chris Geigle |
