Hiking
The trailhead is right at the lifts for Echo Mountain. There is a wide shoulder on the westbound side of the road from where you can see the ski lifts. Walking back towards to the beginning of the parking area, you will find the trailhead going up the mountain as it does a couple quick switchbacks and then navigates through the trees.
