Beautiful piece if nature, it's nice because different levels of fitness can hike this mountain. A very traveled spot.

I did the Cholla route hike the other day and it was great. I went on a Thursday about 8am and had no problem getting street parking. there was lots of people but not a straight line and was by myself mostly. It took about 2 hrs from my car and back. The top part is a bit of rock... More

Have to walk about 1/4 - 1/2 mile from the limited parking to get there, but the hike is fun and the view is gorgeous. It is challenging, but not dangerous as it is well established trail.

After figuring out how to find the actual open trailhead and realized there was a 1/2 mile walk or so just to get there from the street parking, it was already a little late in the day but we decided to hike up the trail as far as we could until we had to turn back with time to get... More

Camelback Mountain is an amazing hike. Make sure you take water and wear hiking shoes. Don't under estimate the time it takes to hike it. It is a very challenging hike but well worth the effort
