Echo Valley Through the Lens: Best Spots for Nature Photography
If your camera roll is constantly filled with sunsets, trail views, and wildlife sightings, you’ll fit right in at Echo Valley Resort + Cabins. This corner of Lake Chelan is a dream for nature lovers and casual photographers alike. Whether you’re shooting with a pro-level lens or just your phone, the landscapes here do most of the work for you.
Here are some of our favorite spots to capture when you’re staying with us:
1. Echo Ridge Trails
Just steps from the resort, the Echo Ridge trails give you endless opportunities for Instagram-worthy shots. Wander through rolling meadows, tall pines, and ridge lines that open up to sweeping views of Lake Chelan and the surrounding mountains. Sunrise and sunset are especially worth the early alarm or the golden hour hike.
2. Resort Friends
Right outside the resort office stands our friendliest locals: the carved wooden totem pole and Sasquatch himself. Snap a quick selfie with them on your way to check in or out. They are practically part of the family here, and a photo with them is a rite of passage for any Echo Valley guest.
3. The Swing at Peshastin Cabin
There’s something so pure and magical about a swing. The one above the Peshastin cabin is tucked in a quiet spot that feels like your own private playground. It’s the perfect place for a candid photo, whether you’re mid-swing with the trees behind you or just sitting still and soaking it all in.
4. Panoramic Views from 2-Bedroom Cabins
Speaking of the cabins, the views from any of them are hard to beat, but the 2-bedroom cabins take the cake on being photogenic. Wide open skies, rolling hills, and forest all around you. Take your morning coffee outside, grab your camera, and let the scenery do the rest. These cabins are built for that “wow” shot that makes your friends immediately ask, “Where is that?”

Bonus: Everyday Echo Valley Moments
Sometimes the best photos aren’t the sweeping landscapes but the little things, like roasting marshmallows by the firepit, catching the last light reflecting off the pool, or spotting wildlife wandering through the property. Keep your camera close, because you never know when a deer might wander past or the sky decides to put on a show.
Ready to Capture It Yourself?
Whether you’re here to hike the trails, relax in your cabin, or just spend more time outdoors, the resort is full of photo-worthy moments. Bring your camera and come see Echo Valley through your own lens.
