Inspiration Point via Echo Mountain

Inspiration Point Pavillion

Today I hiked up to Inspiration Point with a group of students as part of a new hiking club we're starting. We took a longer way than usual to Inspiration Point, hiking up to Echo Mountain, and then to Inspiration Point via Castle Canyon. There, we took a side detour to Panorama Point, and then headed back down via the Sam Merrill Trail.
It was a great hike, even with the snow that we encountered en route. The trail to Panorama Point was covered with 4-5" of snow, although it was slowly melting. Luckily the trails up and down the mountain was mostly clear. Take a look at all the photographs.
