My first visit to this area and I hiked around the rim of Echo Basin and visited some lakes south of the main coulee. After leaving from the climber's parking area where the toilet is, walk the old Jeep track/trail a short distance past Agathla Tower until a boot trail is seen headed up south to a break in the cliffs. There are a few scramble moves at the top as this must be the climber's access to the north side of Echo Basin.
Flowers were not as good as I expected since it's been a rather dry spring east of the mountains. Some bitterroot is starting to bloom but aside from balsamroot and what looks like aster, there is little else.
