Greenwater and Echo Lakes — Friday, Jul. 4, 2025

The trail was gorgeous. The first 5 miles heading towards Echo Lake were beautiful. The trail was easy to follow.
The last two miles in

The last two miles to Echo Lake were progressively worse with mosquitos until we reached the lake. The mosquitos at the lake were unbearable- swarming clouds. We set up camp thinking they would get better as the temperature dropped or the winds picked up or in the morning. Nope. It was a scene from a horror movie. We couldn’t escape them.
Bug spray has nothing on this nightmare. They don’t care.
We heard Lost Lake was fine. If you are debating which one right now, go to Lost Lake.
