    Hiking

    Echo Lake is close to South Lake Tahoe with a big parking lot, so expect lots of people here. There is a small shop and restrooms next to the parking area.

    Hiking

    Lower Echo Lake is, like Upper Echo Lake which follows it, a glacial lake. It is nestled at the foot of superb cliffs.
