Camelback Mountain
Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu
Start before 7 a.m. from November through March to avoid heat stroke and trail traffic. Summer climbs should begin by 5 a.m. at the latest, as trail temperatures can exceed 110°F by mid-morning.
Savjeti za budžet
Parking is free but the 75-space lot fills by 6 a.m. on weekends. There is no entry fee, though you'll want to bring your own water since none is sold on site.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Staza do vrha dobija 1.280 stopa na samo 1,2 milje, što je čini jednom od najizazovnijih urbanih planinarenja u zemlji. Dva stjenovita izdanka daju planini ime: jedan izgleda kao klečeća kamila, a drugi kao njena glava.
Istaknuto: Na vrhu možete vidjeti svih pet phoenixovih planinskih rezervata u jednom pogledu od 360 stepeni, lekcija iz geografije urezana u granit i saguaro. Ružičasti granitni vrh star 40 miliona godina na vrhu djeluje kao džinovski topli kameni oklop kornjače, zagrijan pustinjskim suncem i posut sitnim drevnim fosilima.
Insajderski savjeti
- Skip the main lot and park at the 32nd Street trailhead lot instead, which has more spaces and opens earlier.
- Wear grippy hiking shoes, not running shoes, since the smooth pink granite gets slick from morning dew and loose gravel.
- The best photo spot is at the 'saddle' between the camel's head and hump, where the city skyline frames perfectly behind saguaro silhouettes.
- Bring at least one liter of water per hour of hiking, and check your watch: most rescues happen to hikers who underestimate the heat and the elevation gain.
