Camelback Mountain
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
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.
Tips anggaran
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.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Jalur menuju puncak naik 1.280 kaki hanya dalam jarak 1,2 mil, menjadikannya salah satu pendakian perkotaan paling menantang di negara ini. Dua singkapan berbatu memberi nama gunung ini: satu terlihat seperti unta yang sedang berlutut, yang lainnya seperti kepalanya.
Sorotan: Di puncak, Anda dapat melihat seluruh lima cagar alam pegunungan Phoenix dalam satu pandangan 360 derajat, sebuah pelajaran geografi yang terukir di granit dan saguaro. Tudung granit merah muda berusia 40 juta tahun di puncak terasa seperti tempurung kura-kura batu hangat yang besar, dipanaskan oleh matahari gurun dan dihiasi fosil-fosil kuno kecil.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
