| royanderson | 1st Hour  Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2012 | |
| The trail up to this mountain is usually crowded with many people, including runners and dogs, because it is so easy. Better to keep going up to Lowe. Made it here in an hour. Kept going up to Lowe. Been here several times. | |

| telemarkdude | Quick and easy after work hike Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2013 | |
| This hike was just a few miles away while on business in CA so I took a quick run up at the end of the day. Sky was hazy, making it was hard to really see far. | |

| mattcav | great training hike Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2008 | |
| I hiked Echo Mountain for the first time in Sept/08. As my first peak ever bagged, I can say the view was stunning and the top was enthralling to reach. Having hikes Echo at least 50 more times since then, I can still say that this is a fun, challenging, and enjoyable hike that leads to longer hikes if you want to go past (e.g. Mount Lowe, Inspiration Point, Markham, Disappointment, San Gabriel, Muir). It's about 2.6 miles up and 2.6 down the same way with a consistent but not overbearing incline. The hardest part is the first mile. | |

| Took the Sam Merrill trail to Echo then the long way to Inspiration Point(Echo Mtn trail to Mt. Lowe Road). Did Muir Peak before heading down the Castle Canyon trail back to Echo Mountain. Lots of folks on the trail! Got stung by a bee on my ear! | |

| missymtngirl | Echo Mountain | |
| I believe I climbed this on the way to Mt. Lowe. I did this so long ago it's hard to remember the hike. It isn't too far away from where I live so I should give it another go! | |
