Echo Canyon Park / Camelback Trailhead

First half of the trail is a solid hike . The second half... You better bring gloves and real hiking shoes . It's extreme. Hands and knees climbing. Great views along the way.

This trail has a definite scramble element. It's short , but it is straight up. Bring some water.

Things to do and remember prior to arriving. This is hiking trail and is for NOT for beginners . Commute with your party that is hiking ! Parking is horrible. Please be courteous to your fellow hiker.

OK, weather is perfect, take gatorade, and start the ascent Echo Canyon way. Some railroad tie steps first, than a great vertical boulder climb for thighs. Seen Cardinals there hiking during week...

One of my favorite hikes . Steep. Guide says 2-3hrs total but you can do it in ~40 min each way if you’re reasonably fit!

Very busy and very steep, this trail keeps the fire department and medical first responders busy! Especially with tourists lol So be careful, stay on the trail , drink plenty water and don't litter!

Awesome hike , beautiful scenery , like everyone says, bring lots of water . A must do!

Challenging and will kick your butt. Afterward, checkout 32 SHEA on 32nd St + Shea. Serving coffee , food + liquor (if you're in the mood for bloody mary or mimosa ) open for breakfast , lunch + dinner !

Short but challenging hike ! Bring lots of water , and make sure your shoes have lots of traction .

Extremely difficult hike best for hiking experts in goodb shape. Take at least a quart of water. Hiking and parking after sunset prohibited. No dogs .allowed

Awesome view , but be prepared with water and try to be early. If not, the sun will kill you...

Get to the lot before sunrise, not much parking . NOT FOR BEGINNERS. Some steep sections. Bring gloves because you will be scrambling. No water after the trailhead, so pack some up. Great views .

Prepare for steep walking.. Make sure you get off the trail before 5:45 else you will get a gift of Parking ????

Always bring water with you and wear the proper shoes with good traction . This hike is intense!

fun workout with friends! would definitely bring enough water, but they also have some coolers to refill at the trails start

They say, first timer's feel is much difficult than they anticipated. It's very much true. Be prepared.

Wear good trail shoes ; traction is important on this trail

Water, good shoes and a in shape body. Not as easy as it looks.

Work hard , do more , break less , hike to the top b/c it very amazing view

Morning hike in Echo Canyon. Beautiful views .

Dogs and hiking after sunset are prohibited here - there are better places for that.

Hey anyone know how to get the last few moves and top out on the south side of chipmunk boulder? Or the rating?

Bring good shoes , gloves , a camera and water!

There is no parking here! It fills up really quick.

Great hike for one awesome workout!!

be prepared to sweat! bring lots of water , preferably in a camelbak (no pun intended)!

In winter months the lot stays full most of the day and is difficult to get parking . Avoid this by carpooling in a cab or hike elsewhere.

WHen you get to the top look for a brownish layer hanging over the valley of what appears to be a cloud...It's actually pollution. Scary.

Excellent view of the city

Bring your gloves and hiking boots . Git er done!

Great hike !

Great Morning hike to get the blood flowing.

Take lots of water and go up Echo Canyon side first and down Cholla. Way better.

Think like a camel. Pack water!

NOT for beginners !!!

Don't get helicoptered off the mountain !

This hike is crazy. Not for beginners .

Bring water!!!!!

So many bigs flying everywhere today 5/1 caution????

Climbing, Repelling, & Base Jumping w/ beautiful view of Phoenix, Az in the background. Hiking for the less adventurous.

The best in Phoenix!

Be patient for parking .

If you'd like to have a guide lead you up the mountain , come to Montelucia on Saturday mornings during the fall to take part in a guided group hike .

Umm, 4lokos and copious amounts of amphetamines will make this much more enjoyable for anyone and everyone. Fact.

Bring lots of water . Try to avoid weekend mornings. It's gets packed but there is a overflow lot available. Just follow the trail of people.

Fun place to practice rappelling

Even if you can't make it all the way to the top, this is a must try during your stay. If you're here on Sat. there is a guided hike . If not, stop by the front desk to grab a map and be on your way.

Go deuce before you head up
