Don't Uber or Lyft.

DO NOT TAKE AN UBER OR LYFT TO ECHO MOUNTAIN. They are NOT reliable for a ride back down the mountain, though they may bring you up here.

If you plan to utilize these or other rideshare services for your trip, you absolutely must have your return trip scheduled BEFORE you arrive to Echo.

We're not far from Denver, but we are IN THE MOUNTAINS after all, and drivers are not just hanging out up here! Do not get Uber Stranded. Plan ahead and schedule your rides to avoid a longer, more stressful and more expensive day than necessary.

*Update 12/04: More than ever, this is very important as we DO NOT CURRENTLY OFFER ANY INDOOR SERVICES. Please plan your day with us to account for spending it entirely outdoors.*

OPTION 1 (From Denver / Front Range):

From Denver or the Front Range, take I-70 west towards Evergreen.

Take Exit 252 - CO-74 towards Evergreen Pkwy. heading south.

Take a right on CO-103 (aka Squaw Pass Road) and head west towards Mt. Evans for 12 miles.

On the right, at the end of our driveway is a big white and green sign that says, "Echo Mountain."

Head down the driveway and stay to the right (lower parking lot) for skiing and snowboarding, or left (upper parking lot) for tubing.

OPTION 2 (From Idaho Springs & West on I-70):

From Idaho Springs Exit 240 - CO-103, head south on CO-103 for 20 miles past Echo Lake and Mt. Evans.

On the left, at the end of our driveway is a big white and green sign that says, "Echo Mountain."

Head down the driveway and stay to the right (lower parking lot) for skiing and snowboarding, or left (upper parking lot) for tubing.

NOT RECOMMENDED IN WINTER - Option 3 (Idaho Springs Gravel Road, Not Well-Maintained in Winter):

Many auto GPS systems, and sometimes Google Maps and Apple Maps, may route you from Idaho Springs on Miner St. to Little Bear Creek Rd.

This route is not recommended without 4WD and experience driving windy, gravel roads. During the winter, the County works to maintain this for local residents, however, we don't recommend guests take this route.
