My dad and I were so impressed by our hike the previous day that we had to return the following day to do the echo canyon loop with my mom as well. This time we took a shorter loop. First down the Echo Canyon trail, then up the Hailstone Trail. The hike down Echo Canyon did not disappoint, just like the day before.

We took our time on the downhill and enjoyed the view, but before we knew it the trail leveled out and we started to traverse back towards the start. All in all it was a much shorter hike than the day before, but quite spectacular. After making our way back up to the trail head it was time to drive down and out of the park towards home.
