Little Norway has served as a mountain stop on California’s Sierra Nevada route since the automobile era. This tiny locality stands near Echo Summit on the range’s western side, where U.S. Route 50 climbs between the headwaters of the South Fork American River and the Lake Tahoe basin. Conifer forest, granite slopes and substantial winter snow define the setting rather than urban development. Nearby Echo Summit hosted U.S. Olympic ski trials in 1968, reflecting this corridor’s long connection with winter sport.
