The Little Norway lodge is the only noticeable building from the highway. It has been painted many odd colors over the years and has a faded Norway flag sign. It closed around 1993 without notice and is now all boarded up. visitors come sledding and other recreation at the old ski resort known as Sno-Park with only a few deserted cabins and an unused skilift going up the hill. Little Norway is known today as Echo Summit. Submitted by: Ryan A. Borton

UPDATE: Dear sir, My father Paul Howen financed his cousin Don Peterson' s endeavor to open a lodge/tavern in the High Sierras of CA.  They were both full blooded Norwegians from Amherst Wisconsin.  The appropriately named the lodge Little Norway as the area reminded them of Norway.  Don's wife Winnie was the postmistress.  Don died some years back and is buried in Pollock Pines, California.  My father Paul died Jan 2007 and is burie in Fairhope, Alabama.  I spent many weekends up there as a child in front of the enormous stone fireplace and hiked back to Lake Au Drain for a day picnic with my family
