I had heard of a place that when you shout,lets say “Echo beach far away in time” you will hear 5 echos or more repeating the entire phrase. Is this that place ?asks my friend Grace? In the short video “The Cave of Rigologos” you can hear your echo several times back and forth !

I did this hike on a mountain bike on a day when it was 100 degrees in South Pasadena. I brought about 2 liters of water and that was not enough. This is a beautiful hike but it can be demanding on very hot days. There is a water fountain at the trail head with very good water but make sure you plan well and be sensible, especially in summer.

I just did this hike and it was perfect. I hadn’t done that many miles in a while and I was really meaning to stop at Echo Mountain but with Inspiration Point just 2 miles further I couldn’t help myself. The climb was even-enough most of the way that I could just truck along, which I like to do, and the view is amazing the entire way. I even caught a nice waterfall half way from Echo Mt. to the Point. I highly, highly recommend this to any moderate hiker looking for a challenge but not a knee-breaker. And thanks SO much for this blog, this is the kind of thing LA outdoors-seekers need.

It was not the Altadena Historical Society that did all that work, it was the Scenic Mt. Lowe Railway Historical Society. Look at our website - http://www.mtlowe.net
