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 Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas, Palm Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the balcony"

Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent...very clean, comfortable, contemporary, and spacious. The kitchenette was very handy. There was only one negative regarding the booking. The check-in time is not until 4 PM and check-out is at 10 AM. It is unreasonable and an inconvenience for the traveler. It should be 3 PM and 11 AM."
