Ms. B will lead a hike for your student and up to 3 friends to Echo Mountain above Altadena. They will take in expansive views of the San Gabriel Valley and see the remains of a resort that was accessible by street car more than 100 years ago! 

Hiking Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail is a rewarding experience, rich with history. First, Echo Mountain itself is the site of the ruins of the Echo Mountain House — a hotel built in the late 1800’s by Thaddeus Lowe. There were no roads to this hotel — you reached it by an incline railway that climbed over 1,000 feet. The hotel burned to the ground in a fire, but there are remnants of the grandeur that once shone brightly atop Echo Mountain.

Hike will take place on a mutually agreed upon Saturday at 8:30 am. Hikers will meet Ms. B at the trailhead.

Light snacks will be provided!
