I had never been up to Echo Mountain, mainly because I had no interest in hiking up with typical crowd of rowdy teenagers and whining kids.
Only took 2 hours and on the way down the sun poked out and I got a few great shots of the sunset!
I was hesitant to post such a short TR but on the way down I could hear a bunch of sirens and shortly thereafter the LA Sheriff Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King rescue helicopter started flying just below the cloud layer right next to the mountain.
Then another 3 helicopters showed up and started patrolling right above Echo Mountain. Even had a LA Sheriff Eurocopter AS350 helicopter buzz right over me more than once. So I was wondering if anyone had any idea what was going on up there this evening...?
Oh and my hunch was right, I saw 1 hiker, 1 dog walker and 2 mountainbikers. Not bad for Echo Mountain trail.
