When is the best time to go to Summit?

The best time to visit Summit truly depends on what sort of experience you're after, as it offers distinct attractions across its seasons. For those keen on winter sports, the prime time is typically from December through to early April. During these months, the area is blanketed in snow, providing excellent conditions for skiing, snowboarding, and other snow-based activities. The resorts are fully operational, and the landscape is particularly picturesque. If you're more interested in hiking, mountain biking, or enjoying the natural beauty without the snow, then late spring to early autumn—roughly May to October—is ideal. The weather is generally warm and sunny, superb for exploring the trails and lakes. Wildflowers are abundant in early summer, and the autumn colours in September and October are quite striking.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Summit hotel for you.

The Dunes Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Dunes Hotel was fantastic. The property seems to be newly renovated and is kept very clean (also it’s a no smoking property in all areas, not just the rooms, so it smelled great too)! The beds were perfect, and the toiletries provided were top notch. The front desk people were helpful and friendly. The pool area was well maintained and there are a few free daybeds (have to get one early). Incredible value for the price. Will definitely stay again!"

The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time. The rooms are spacious, we love having a full fridge/mini kitchen area, and the patio is very large. The bed was extremely confortable which is really important to me. My kids loved water slide, and if we stayed longer we would have loved to experience the other amenities. We can’t wait to come back!"
