Review:
Named for its resemblance to the humps of a camel, Camelback Mountain is one of the state's top hiking destinations. There are two main hiking routes: Echo Canyon Trail and Cholla Trail. Both take between 1.5 and 3 hours but are very difficult and should only be attempted by experienced, well-prepared hikers when the weather is appropriate. The mountain gets quite busy, especially on the weekends, and visitors are advised to go early because the entry gates are closed once the park has reached capacity. Limited parking is available, but there are also plenty of bike lock racks.
