Camelback  Sucess!

I grew up in the valley so I've done this a few different times. It is a really fun little hike. I'm amazed how it seems to always be crowded and how I always meet people from foreign countries on the top.

In town for a Giants game, so i guess hiking Camelback was the thing to do. What a ZOO!

Camelback  Sucess!

Climbed from the north side with Ezra Danciu and Todd James. Bring plenty of water even early in the morning. Todd ran out and begged some guy for a drink. Hahaha! Awesome view from the top.

I've climbed it nine times during 2000-2009. Always a fun scramble via Echo Canyon.

Camelback  Sucess!

Hiked up via Echo Canyon in the morning, before the sun made it all the way over the mountain. It's a fun scramble——plenty of boulders and rocks, but nothing too dicey. Awesome desert scenery and great views of the Valley of the Sun from the top.

Cholla Trailhead  Sucess!

I lived in Tempe for 4 years in the early '90s but somehow never decided to go climb Camelback.

Finally did so. Pics and Commentary here.

Awesome Hike!  Sucess!

Great hike via Summit Trail! A little steaper then I had originally planned but that made the experience even better. I can't wait to go back and do it again.

Echo Canyon  Sucess!

Great little hike, great city views. The hike was made more challenging by the crowds of people coming down while I was going up.

Camelback  Sucess!

Yep, that would be masochistic me, hiking Camelback in the middle of August during the hottest part of the day.

From Echo Canyon  Sucess!

Went for a short jaunt while on vacation. I was lucky to get into the parking area. The Fire Department was on scene and while I was on the summit a rescue helicopter landed and ferried someone off to the hospital. Very nice views. Temps were moderate.
