Echo, Inyo County, California
Echo is a former settlement in Inyo County, California.[1]
It was located on the crest of the Funeral Mountains above Death Valley, halfway between Lee and Schwaub.[1]
Echo never had any buildings, only tents which workers of the Inyo Gold Mining Company would set up and disassemble, although a telephone line between Lee and Schwuab cut through the town.[2] Echo was not to last as more profitable prospects could not be found in the area. A few items remain of the town, including a pair of former tent sites and can dumps as well as some shattered glass.
The site of Echo is within Death Valley National Park.
