Echo Lake Park
About
Echo Lake Park is a Colorado mountain park managed by Denver Mountain Parks, about 6 miles from the town of Georgetown. It works well as a base for the trails, campgrounds and climbing areas clustered around it. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 69°F with lows near 46°F, according to averages from the nearby Cabin Creek weather station at about 10,000 feet. July and August also bring the most wet days of the year, at 13 to 14 a month, and winter highs stay near freezing. Chicago Lakes Trail starts just 0.3 miles away. Echo Lake Campground and Resthouse Meadows Trail are each about half a mile off. Climbers can reach the Amphitheater Area roughly 1.5 miles from the park.
