Camelback Mountain
Parim aeg külastamiseks
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.
Eelarvenõuanded
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.
Soovitatav
Thrill-seeking hikers, Solo travelers wanting a challenge, Local Phoenix residents, Photography enthusiasts

Teave
Kiired faktid: Tee tippu tõuseb 1,280 jalga vaid 1,2 miili jooksul, muutes selle üheks väljakutsuvamaks linnalähedaseks matkaks riigis. Kaks kivist paljandit annavad mäele nime: üks näeb välja nagu põlvitav kaamel, teine nagu selle pea.
Esiletõstmised: Tipust on võimalik näha kõiki viit Phoenixi mäekaitseala ühes 360-kraadises vaates, geograafiatund, mis on raiutud graniiti ja saaguarosidesse. 40 miljoni aasta vanune roosa graniidist kübar tipus tundub nagu hiiglaslik soe kivist kilpkonnakoor, mida kõrvepäike soojendab ja mis on täis väikseid iidseid fossiile.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
