Summit Trail #113
Beginning at Access #2, the trail follows the top of a long ridge that divides the Nebo Creek drainage from the Pole Creek drainage. The trail begins by winding through an aspen grove, after which it intersects with the end of Sawmill-Nebo Creek Trail #130. From this point the trail follows the crest of the ridge, passing through occasional stands of conifers and aspen. there are some places where the trail drops down into saddles and then climbs up the other side again; however this portion of the trail is fairly level. Approximately 2 1/2 miles from the trailhead there is a fence across the trail. Please be sure to close the gate after you have passed through it. Shortly after this point there is a sign indicating the head of Page Fork. Page Fork Trail #088, has been relocated from this drainage to the east drainage. It now connects with Summit Trail approximately 1 1/2 miles before it turns sharply to the west going down into Pole Canyon. There is a short, steep descent into Pole Canyon soon after which you arrive at the trailhead.
Connecting Trails: Page Fork Trail #088, Sawmill Nebo Creek Trail #130.

Getting There
Directions
Access #1: From I-15 take Nephi Exit 225. This takes you through Nephi Canyon via State Road 132. Turn left onto the Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway which is approximately 4 miles up the canyon. Follow this road for approximately two miles until you see the sign for Pole Canyon on the right. Take this dirt road #016 to the very end. This is where the Summit Trail begins.
Access #2: This trail can also be reached by continuing to drive up the Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway instead of turning at Pole Canyon. Continue approximately another 5 1/2 miles until you see a sign for the Summit Trail on the right hand side of the road. This trail head is approximately 1/2 mile east of the Devil's Kitchen Geological Site.
