Echo Mountain Trail

Nice place to come and hike. Short distance to get to camp site.

Awesome trails for an early morning hike and trail run.

Great hike for most levels. For a more challenging route try one of the two trails on your left before the main trailhead.

One of my favorite places to go hiking, this hike teaches you about the history of this old Casino, it was built for those who are wealthy back in the day before Los Angeles looked the way it does today. If you have never been here, please make it a mission to visit it at least once in your lifetime. If you're an avid hiker who hikes here often, then please take others so that way they can experience it just as well. letting them see Los Angeles from A New Perspective and maybe get the urge to go up and continue on to Inspiration Point. Another great place to see, you can find the trailhead at the bottom of Lake Avenue off the 210 Freeway. Have fun and be careful.

Nice 2.9 mile trail leads from the gates at the Cobb estate at the northern end of Lake Ave. to Echo Mountain and the ruins of an old hotel. Elevation gain is roughly 1500' and the trail is relatively exposed to the sun. Be sure to bring plenty of water! A nice place to start exploring the foothills of the San Gabriels
