Echo Lakes Hike

One of our favorite hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail, Echo Lakes, takes us along the north side of two lakes joined by a narrow passage.

Vistas along the trail about 200 feet above the lower lake are spectacular.

Many hikers take a water taxi from the Echo Chalet at the east end of the lower lake to the west end of the upper lake and then hike back. We chose to hike both ways for a total of 5.8 miles.

Lots of hikers including a group of 86 kids from the Berkeley, California area!
