Camelback Mountain

Very challenging near the top of the mountain. The terrain was quite rocky.

One of the very best in town hiking and climbing areas in ANY city or area in the world. Everything from hiking up to full 5.14X climbs. I have completed many of them. You just need to be prepared for what you plan to do. The climbs on the "Praying Monk" you should have another competent climber with you and you should have good communication with you in case of fall.

I loved this hike even with the crowd. Such a fantastic workout! I was there on s cooler day, with overcast skies. I wouldn't recommend on a hot day.

A very technically challenging trail with majority of the hike I would consider rock scrambling. The views are stunning and well worth the effort. Allow yourself 2-3 hours to complete. I’d suggest hiking up echo canyon trail and down the cholla trail. Cholla trail is less rocky and more enjoyable to hike down. You will however need to Uber back to the echo trailhead or have a car parked at the bottom.

DO NOT go in this trail if you’re not expecting extreme heat, dehydration, and overall pain everywhere. Only recommend for extremely fit and athletic people who are absolute experts with strenuous hiking. Come with LOTS of water. My family ended up all running out even though we packed tons. The end view is NOT worth it whatsoever. So much pain for nothing at all. Helicopters and firefighters roam the area to help people who have been seriously injured. While i was there, 5 fire trucks came to rescue lost children/teens looking for shade that went missing/injured. For such a exhausting and excruciating hike there should be a nice view. There are plenty of hikes with beautiful and way better views in Arizona. Overall this hike is not worth it at all.

Incredibly fun trail with a super rewarding breathtaking view of the Phoenix area at the finish line.

Kid and pet friendly trail but for the love of God, where some damn shoes that protect your feet, not sandals 🤦🏿‍♂️ The trail is very rocky and slippery in certain areas.

I highly recommend hiking sticks. This mountain will certainly test your knee's fortitude coming down 😂

Very popular hiking spot, certain spots on the trail become congested but it's not bad.
