Echo Mtn. was due for some much needed care and maintenance and it got just that this past Saturday. Graffiti was covered up inside the reservoir and on some of the walls outside of it. All the signs were cleaned up as well as some of the histroric pieces of equipment that is up there. And two bags of trash picked up. Because of our efforts, the mountain is in much better condition than when we started our work day. There were ten of us, and my thanks go out to everyone who particpated.

Hi everyone. Echo Mountain and the trail leading up from Lake Ave. needs some much needed attention. There is grafitti along the 2.5 mile route leading up to the top. And even more on top along with some trash that needs to be removed from the mountain.

Meeting location is still to come. But we wil be driving up on a closed road that will get us to within 3/4 of a mile of Echo.

Update 1/30/11 Meeting Location: We will be meeting at Farnsworth Park just off of Lake Ave, in Altadena. From the 210 FWY. in Pasadena, exit Lake Ave. Drive north towards the mountains. The park will be on the left side of Lake Ave. as you drive up. We will be meeting in the first parking lot on Mount Curve Ave.
