Echo Mountain Loop features 7 miles of hiking trails near Altadena, CA.
Take Lincoln Ave. all the way north, turn right on Loma Alta Dr., left on Chaney Trail, right on Echo Mountain Fire Rd, park.<br /><br />There may be an alternate trail head on Lincoln if you don't want the last leg of the loop to be uphill (scope it out on google maps). I had a friend drop me off at the fire road and then rode home to Pasadena - so I haven't confirmed this yet.
