Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I did some google search and found this place called Echo Basin, which was located in Quincy Washington, about 30-40 minutes away from where I was. I arrived towards the end of the day as the sun was setting so I didn't spend too much time there. There were people in camper vans and trucks parked along the edge of the hills and the view was really breathtaking. So I quickly parked my car and snapped some photos as the sun was rapidly setting behind the rocky hills.
I wish I could've taken my time here but the winds were freezing and before I knew it, it was getting dark had to get out of there. I didn't know this until I came back home and did more research but there is a 2.7 mile hiking trail out here along with places where you can rock climb. Current condition may be bit cold and icy right now but I'll be looking forward to coming back here once the weather warms up. It was a short visit but I'm glad I made the drive out here.
