1/12/2008 Posted On: 1/12/2008 By: ColderThanDryIce Info: Road is closed. There is a barricade of snow about 10 feet high blocking the last leg of the trip. This is located 9 miles from Summit Lake. The road is decently plowed and easy to get up to this point. Echo lake is accessible, but i wouldn‘t recommend using it due to the amount of snow. | ||||
