Welcome to Echo Valley!

English
Raised as a "military brat", I was lucky to travel the world. No surprise my family decided to settle in Washington State. My trips to Mt. Rainier have always held a special place in my heart. My husband Patrick came for a visit in the mid 80's and fell in love with the mountain. Now we are lucky enough to have a cabin near the Paradise entrance. In 2022 we acquired the Knotty Shack cabin and our newest cabin Dovetail Den started in 2024.
