Echo Mountain Trail








These pictures were taken on the Echo Mountain Trail on Sunday April 17, on the morning of our return to New York. The trail starts at the end of Lake Avenue in Altadena. We started the hike at about 6am. At about 7am we were at the historic site of the ruins of Echo Mountain House. In 1894 this used to be a large and fancy hotel which could be reached by cogwheel train from the valley down below. This is a popular and spectacular trail which gets crowded later in the morning.
