Camelback Mountain offers challenging hikes in Phoenix with panoramic city views via two main trails: Echo Canyon (steeper, scrambles) and Cholla (more gradual but still tough), both leading to the 2,704-foot summit, with hikers typically ascending and descending in 2-3 hours. Important Notes: • The linked Directions are to the Cholla Trailhead, the less challenging of the two hikes. • Echo Canyon Trailhead is just minutes away from the Resort. It is a *very* difficult hike. We'd like everyone to make it to the ceremony, therefore we recommend Cholla if you choose to hike Camelback. Safety Reminder: • Bring more water than you think you'll need and follow the city's guidance for safe hiking in the desert at https://tinyurl.com/4s2m762m
If you want a true hiking experience that is not as strenuous as Camelback Mountain, this is the local favorite. It features a wide, well-groomed trail with moderate inclines and beautiful views of the Sonoran Desert lush with saguaros.
A great option for a casual walk with a big payoff. The trail to the Hole-in-the-Rock formation is short, easy, and offers iconic views of the city. This is located right next to the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden if you want to combine activities.
A UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see for design lovers. This was the winter home and desert laboratory of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. You must book a guided tour in advance to visit the property.
