Cynthia, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "tourist friendly" areas. There are picnic areas just off the reservation. There's no fishing allowed in the Summit Lake Basin because, as the section on Lahontan cutthroat trout states, the trout is listed on the Endangered Species List as threatened because, historically, it was over fished. Please see the web site page Lahontan cutthroat trout. While you are free to look at any rock art of the Tribe's ancestors and fossils, theft would be prosecuted--after all these are important tribal resources, and what little the Tribe has left (yes, a lot of people have taken things without permission) we must protect. If you would like more info, email me: ron.johnny@summitlaketribe.org Sincerely, Ron Eagleye Johnny, Environmental Coordinator
