About this Event
Join us for an early season out and back on the Greenwater and Echo Lakes Trail. The plan is to travel approximately two miles up the (basically level) trail to reach Greenwater Lakes, which are a series of natural oxbow lakes in the river and will also be the hikes turn around point. We will not be going up the entire distance of the trail to its endpoint (7 miles in) at Echo Lake. This hike due to its relatively low elevation will likely have little to no snow come mid April, especially for the section to Greenwater Lakes, but consider bringing traction just in case.

Note: Google Maps lists USFS road 7000 (which is the last road you take to the trailhead) as closed in winter, this incorrect on Googles part as their is a winter snowpark just past the the trailhead that is served by the same road all winter. The Forest Service also lists this road as open on their website. The driving directions given by the WTA still work.
