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!
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!
Covered this stretch on a little historical interest hike. Pretty cool artifacts and history. Although I've run by here before I never stopped to really get a sense of the place. It was a worthy trip
From Cobb Estate TH: hit Echo Mtn, Muir Pk, Inspiration Pk, Mt Markham and Mt Lowe. Hiked with Gordon, Coco the Dog, and Sophie the Dog on a very hot April day. Up Castle Canyon/East Lowe trails and down the Mt Lowe railline/West Lowe trails.
