Sunny is growing like a weed and has energy to spare! We took a hike up Echo Mountain to see if we could tire him out for a little while…
Echo Mountain is a neat historic place in the local (San Gabriel) Los Angeles Mountains. From 1893-1936 approximately 3 million people took a rail car ride up the mountain to a resort. Today there are only ruins where the original hotel and observatory stood, but it’s a fun hike and a nice place for a picnic.
The boys look down on the LA basin. On a clear day you can see out to Catalina Island, but unfortunately we has some haze as the marine layer hadn’t burnt off yet.
Echo Mountain faces a canyon that…echos. The echo phone amplifies sounds through the local mountain range…
The hike has some steep exposures but Sunny didn’t mind the heights…
Post hike nap…
Transferred to the sofa…
