HIKE DATE: Sunday, June 13, 2010

HIKE LEAD:  Lorena Rodriguez

MEETING TIME: 7:30am – 7:50am

MEETING POINT:
Ralph’s Grocery Parking Lot
160 N Lake Ave
Pasadena, CA 91104
(We’ll be driving from here to the hiking point.)

LEAVE MEETING POINT FOR HIKE: 7:50am

START HIKE: 8:00am-ish

DISTANCE: 6 miles (round trip)

HIKE LEVEL: Moderate-Medium to Moderate-Difficult

HIKE WALKTHROUGH: We begin at the corner of Lake Ave and Loma Alta Dr.  We then go up to the top up a switchback (zig-zag) road known as the Sam Merril Trail along side the mountain. Quite demanding, a great workout.  We will spend some time at the top of Echo Mountain while we get some water and try out the echo-phone.  Then we just head back our way down the same trail.

IS IT DOG-FRIENDLY?:  Yes

RECOMMENDED:  2 large water bottles, a good snack and comfortable walking shoes.  Try to pack lightly as you’ll be using plenty of your energy getting to the top and coming back down the trail.
