X marks the spot (Arapahoe Heliport)
At one of the pullouts closer to Echo Lake than the Echo Mountain ski area, there is an X of a tough reflective material staked at the ends. We think it might be a marker for helicopter landing, although I know Flight for Life lands at Echo Mountain. (My brother has seen it land there both for training and to airlift an injured park patron.)
ETA: This is actually Araphoe Heliport (CD19), an unattended heliport currently owned by CenturyLink. You can read its listing on AirNav at www.airnav.com/airport/CD19
