Review:
Echo Mountain Hiking Trails is easy to follow, offers great views, and has an interesting history. You’ll start up the Sam Merrill Trail and on to the old Mt. Lowe Railway route all the way to Echo Mountain. Once you’re there, you’ll come across the remains of Echo Mountain resort, which is an interesting structure to see. You’ll get a good workout on the trail which has a distance of 5.4 miles and elevates approximately 3,207 feet. The hike has been named one of the “ten great North American hikes” by USA Today, and rightly so as it’s filled with flora, fauna, scenic viewpoints, and picturesque vistas for you to enjoy.
