I think you should stash a bike 50 yards from the road at the exit.
A ride back to the car would be a breeze, and add to the adventure.
8 miles would be less than an hour on a bike, and biking is a great way to travel the Echo Trail. Cool road. Nice and shady, pretty flat, lots of places to rest and relax, and VERY LITTLE traffic. Ride on!

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking the bike would be best.

My wife did exactly that last year, but different EP’s. She went from EP 16-EP 19 on a mountain bike I picked up on Craigslist for free the week before our trip. That was about 7 miles. We stashed it in the woods, it worked out nicely.

I am considering going in entry 14 or 16 and exiting the other. This would mean a walk back to the truck. Anyone know about how far that would be?

The entry points are approximately 8 to 8.5 miles apart on the Echo Trail

You could bring a bike, drop your partner & gear off at the EP & then park the truck at the exit, bike back to the start. Hide it somewhere in the woods or chain it to a tree. Probably an easy hour bike ride versus a 3 hour hike.

Yes, according to google earth, just about 8 miles. I did it one time from Moose River to Little Indian Sioux. It's a pretty easy jog/walk other than the distance. You may get a ride - I did the last 2 miles - but I wouldn't count on it since LISN is the last entry out there and not many people out that way otherwise.

I gave a guy a ride to LIS once. We exited at the same time, so I gave him a ride to his vehicle . Wasn't going that way (was going to Ely), but I did it for good karma. May need some of that some day.
