"Resembling a camel’s back, and sitting in the center of Phoenix, Camelback Mountain is visible from all areas of downtown. As one of the top hiking destinations in the country, it attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. There’s a choice of two trailheads — the Cholla and Echo Canyon, both of which are difficult — to ascend the 2,704-foot-high summit. The steep elevation gain, rugged terrain, and harsh elements of the desert make the climb dangerous, but those who reach the top are rewarded by a great view of the city below." - MATADOR_NETWORK
