Hiking Echo Canyon Trail - Camelback Mountain
This is a hike I've been wanting to do ever since I moved to Phoenix last summer. Camelback Mountain is the highest peak of the Phoenix Mountain System reaching a height of 2,706 feet above sea level. It is the most iconic mountain in the Phoenix metro, and called Camelback because it literally looks like a camel laying on its stomach with the its prominent peak resembling a camel's hump.
The Echo Canyon Trail is cited as one of the most challenging hiking trails in all of Arizona. While only roughly 1 mile long, one must endure a steep climb of 1,200 ft through rocky terrain to reach the mountain summit. And this can be extremely difficult in the sweltering summer heat, so it's advised to climb during the winter season. Many people have lost their lives hiking and climbing Camelback Mountain.
Given its iconic status and challenging reputation, Camelback is the perfect hike if you come prepared - pace yourself, bring plenty of water, stay on the trails, and enjoy the challenge. The views at the top are incredible and standing on the summit is a rewarding experience.
