Explanation

An infinitive is the basic form of a verb, often written as “to” plus a verb. In “They wanted to experience some of the area's outdoor adventures,” the phrase “to experience” is an infinitive. The other sentences do not contain a “to” followed by a verb in this way; for example, “to the summit” uses “to” as a preposition.
