Feel like you're going backwards? Well I am! I realised I didn't ever post any photos or anything from Echo lake before we headed to Italy, so here are some photos.
I had a great time at Echo, so beautiful and relaxing out there - cabin in the woods by the lake with no electricity and lots of early bedtimes! Stian and I stayed out in a tent behind the cabin and one morning I was woken up by a black bear padding my butt through the tent. It was an interesting way to wake up, the birds were being noisy so I assumed a bird had flown into the tent, turned over and had a bear staring over me (it was hot enough not to have the fly on the tent so we could see the stars). Moved pretty quick once I yelled and woke Stian up. He went back to sleep, I had a harder time.....so my first bear encounter not in a car - pretty cool!
The hardest part of the week - carrying the bags up to the cabin. Four adults and two children take a lot of stuff for a week of cabin camping....
The last stairs up to the cabin.
Echo Lakes from Rawlston Peak on a short hike that Stian and I did one day. The left lake is Upper Echo and the right lake is Lower Echo. The cabin is on Lower Echo.

Stian and I on a hike to lake Aloha and beyond. This was our "long" hike of the trip and was beautiful, if a little hot. I'd never been beyond Aloha, so it was great seeing some of the other lakes around.

Great photos and enjoyed your bear story. Was it bear to the left or bear to the right? DW
Rhian,
What a lovely reminder of a fantastic week! Oh, I wish we were still there. How quickly time flies by. Your photos are wonderful! I love the steps and the 2 lakes--I haven't seen either them quite this way before.
great photos. i am so wishing i were back there! but i have to correct you. all that crap was for 5+ adults (the plus being M for part of the time). yes, i know, the 2 kids were so exhausting, it was hard to remember that we outnumbered them by that many! :)
right bearing only.....!
The kids were great, made echo 'echo'.....but then I have never been there without kids.....:0) So much fun, thanks again for taking me!
