Unforgettable Echo Lake Hike: Boat Ride, Cascades, and Endless Views

Echo Lake hike is a unique hike in Squamish, BC!

My friends and I started with a scenic boat ride with Squamish Waterports. Among the stunning views were The Chief and Shannon Falls.

From the river access, we head up the Monmouth Creek trail, navigating ropes, chains, and steep sections with loose earth. It’s challenging but so worth it for the amazing waterfalls and cascades along the way.

After a tough climb, we finally reach the serene Echo Lake, where we cool off with a refreshing dip and enjoy some well-earned snacks.

The hike down is a breeze compared to the ascent, as you take a different route. By the end of the day, our shuttle picks us up, wrapping up a fantastic day in nature.

💡Useful Tips for Your Adventure:
▶Be Prepared: This hike is tough! Make sure you’re in good physical shape and bring snacks. Water can be refilled all along.
▶Crossing the river: It takes 15 minutes to cross by boat. It will take you longer using a canoe. Plan accordingly.
▶Start Early: Give yourself plenty of daylight to complete the hike and enjoy the scenery. It might take you more than 6 hours to complete the loop.
▶Bears: We saw some bear activity as there are berries at the beginning of the trail. Bring a bear spray and ideally stay with your group.
