Echo Summit Chevron
Fuel Station
Full-service Chevron station perched at Echo Summit on Highway 50, the main route between South Lake Tahoe and the Central Valley. Standard fuel grades plus diesel, convenience store with basic supplies, restrooms, and air for tires. Popular stop for overlanders heading to or from Rubicon Trail and other Tahoe-area trails. Prices run high due to remote location.
Open year-round but hours reduce in winter. Can get crowded during summer weekends and ski season. Good place to top off before heading into the backcountry or gear down for the descent into Sacramento Valley.
