<\/p>\n

\nThis weekend we were busy working on the
\nhouse, watching football and enjoying the last warm days of summer. We didn’t
\nhike this weekend but I’m sharing an oldie but goodie, Echo Lakes. This hike
\ncan be as long or short as you want to make it. It’s probably one of my
\nfavorite late summer hikes. Plus it’s a great one to take family and friends
\nvisiting as it’s super easy, only 6 miles round-trip and 380 ft. in
\nelevation gain (from 7,420 – 7,800ft). If you’re leaving from South Lake make
\nsure to pick up a sandwich at Lira’s market in Meyers!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\nTips:<\/b>
\nThe water taxi runs from <\/span><\/span>Memorial<\/span><\/span> Day to Labor Day (if you don’t want to hike
\nthe entire trail)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n Late summer is the best time for a quick
\ndip in one of the lakes.
\nWilderness permits for both day and overnight hikes are required, both of which
\nare available at the trial-head.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\nAlternates:<\/b>
\nShorten your hike to 2.5 miles by just utilizing the return route from the
\nUpper Echo Lake boat dock.
\nLengthen your route with a trip to the Lake of the Woods, Tamarack Lake, Ralston Lake or beyond.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nGetting there:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nBegin your hike at Echo Chalet, a summer only
\nresort located just off US Hwy 50, ten miles westward of South Lake Tahoe and
\n49 miles east of Placerville.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
