Echo Summit
Echo Summit is notable for being the location (sometimes listed as "South Lake Tahoe") of the 1968 U.S. Olympic track and field trials for men, held September 6–16, a month before the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. (The women's trials were at low altitude in Los Angeles County, at Walnut.) The Echo Summit site opened in July as a training camp for high-altitude acclimation, with an elevation similar to the Olympic Stadium in Mexico. The picturesque alpine location was on the cover of the July 1968 issue of Track and Field News. The original men's trials were in Los Angeles in late June, but a second round of trials was added to the training camp.
