Echo Lake

Every summer we go to Echo Lake, which is located near South Lake Tahoe. Andrew's family has had a cabin there for over 80 years. The cabin is on Forest Service land and there is no electricity or roads. You have to boat in and bring all your food with you. It is the most relaxing place because there are no TVs, phones, or computers to distract you. All there is to do is hike, swim, ski, and spend time with one another. The water is snow run-off so it is freezing, but we braved it every day, and I even decided to ski one day! Here are some pictures from our time there this summer.
