At 10,600 feet, Echo Lake and Echo Lake Mountain Park rest at the base of the 14er Mount Evans. The park area includes some camping (reservations required) and biking and fishing options. There are also running and hiking trails starting and ending at the lake parking area.

Great 360 view from the top. Careful of storms that can blow in and be sure to stay on the marked trail at the top.

The trailhead is right at the lifts for Echo Mountain. There is a wide shoulder on the westbound side of the road from where you can see the ski lifts.

Idaho Springs Reservoir rests in upper Chicago Creek. The alpine lake is only accessible via foot on the Chicago Lakes Trail. There is an access road, but it can only be traveled with a permit that is only offered to Idaho Springs residents.
