"My first time up this Phoenix classic. Set off a couple minutes before sunrise (6am). A bit chilly but after running for 2 min was already warmed up. After first section of the climb didn't get why the trail is described as rough. Quickly discovered what they meant and gave up on running it. Spent 5 min on top taking some shots of the horizon. Piestewa Peak looked interesting from up here; hope to hit it tomorrow. Car to car in 59 min." — scott • Apr 10, 2019
"Climbed while in Scottsdale for a conference. Was just recovering from hurting my back falling on the ice in my driveway a couple of weeks before (no running for 10 days), and the Arizona sun was very restorative. I did this hike many years ago too but I didn't remember much about it other than I bought brand new "hiking" boots (not good ones) right before. " — kvander • Feb 28, 2019
"3 Brothers reached the summit with "The Little One" reaching first. Summit race ended in reverse chronological order. Are you trying to start an argument? It's a GREAT day." — michaelpietrowski • Aug 25, 2014
"Thanksgiving morning we went for a walk to build up the appetite. Apparently we weren't the only hikers with this idea, as the mountain was packed! At least 60 people at the summit, we didn't hang around too long." — jeffhubatka • Nov 24, 2011
"Took the slightly longer Cholla Trail since I got shut out of the parking lot at Echo Canyon. Seems odd that people will sit with their car idling for 20 minutes so they can get out and go do something healthy." — jeffhubatka • Oct 29, 2010
"I’ve hiked up Camelback a few times over the years. I think the first was the time I was in Scottsdale for Kendra Tasker’s 40th birthday. Another time was when Brian and I were in Scottsdale for his employee’s wedding. I will find my peak journal and update the specific years and add photos. " — 40in40 • Dec 10, 2005
"Hiked this mountain with the woman that would later become my wife on her birthday while i still lived in flagstaff. After moving to phoenix this mountain became my workout mountain for the next two years. Hiked it over 100 times. Durring the cooler months i would hike up Echo canyon, down the Cholla trail then back up then back down Echo Canyon. " — MtnGeek • Jan 13, 2002
