Donner Summit Canyon is a low-moderately trafficked loop trail located near Truckee and Donner Lake. It features beautiful wild flowers, lush forest, tons of streams, waterfalls, meadows, bridges, and stunning views of Donner Lake and of the Old 40 summit. The dirt path is perfect for trail running, a hike with the dogs, or a way to escape the more commonly known and heavily populated trails in Truckee.
Odds are, you probably haven’t been on this trail yet! It was truly put to the test since we went on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, when it would likely have more people. We were shocked at how peaceful and empty it was!
Check out the AllTrails Map! We HIGHLY recommend using the AllTrails app with the map, or at least taking a photo of the map at the trail head. It can be easy to get lost and there are many ways to get up/down.
The signage throughout the hike was very easy to follow. Here is the first trailhead sign/terrain – you can’t miss it!
