Details
Much of this area is in the Mount Charleston Wilderness Area, learn which crags are within our outside of it before you go. See the BLM Fact Sheetblm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files… for a good overview of what it protects and what that limits, and the Forest Service pagefs.usda.gov/detailfull/htnf… for other information.
Description
Soaring to 700+ feet, the multi-faceted Echo Cliffs sit just to the south of Cathedral, giving those hiking the start of the south loop trail a stunning swath of stone to gaze at. There are three quality cliff bands, all facing pretty much north, and all housing potential for amazing new lines.

The larger, higher, lot is labeled "Lower Trail Parking" while the smaller, vertically lower, lot is labeled "Upper Trail Parking".
The big lot has flush toilets and sinks. The smaller lot has pit toilets.
Big lot is best for Echo Cliff/Sonar Wall. Smaller lot is best for Belltower, Walden, Weakness Wall, Cathedral Route.
Best parking spots for here are nearest the dumpsters, because that's where the trail starts. The other end of the lot requires walking through the woods right past a sign that says "don't walk past this sign into the woods". Let's keep the high ground so we can keep being judgmental about everyone else.
People have recently gotten $185 tickets on the weekend for parking on the driveway when the lot is full. Even though there were 40 cars doing it. If you get put in that position, either go further toward the end of the road and park in the day use area (expensive, but 25 bucks or whatever it is is cheaper than 185) or go all the way back to Echo Canyon Lot and hike a bit further.
