Echo...Echo Mountain

Since Angeles Crest Highway was still closed, the Wednesday hikers headed up to Echo Mountain, rather than a hike down a canyon. I'd been up there once before, but the mudslides made it a bit different. If I'd been by myself, I would've turned around, but with others around to back me up, it was no problem.

We made it up pretty quickly, had some lunch at the top, and played around with a little spring that had welled up into the middle of the trail. It was just bubbling away in a really cool way, so it was fun to see it.

It was a pleasure to get up there, although I kinda wished we'd gone a bit further. I didn't have enough food or water to get up to Lowe. Bummer.
