User Reviews for Camelback Mountain, Echo Canyon Recreation Area

I was in Phoenix only four days and did this hike twice. It was a fantastic climb to the top. A bit challenging which made it fantastic. The way down isn't as pleasant and requires a slow-go. The view at the top is amazing with no obstructions. Everyone on this hike is so very friendly and dog friendly as well. Be sure to bring your pooch some water. It will be needed. Cathy from LA
Pros: many pros
Cons: nothing to mention

This hike is perfect for hikers between the beginner and experienced level. Experienced hikers will find the hike to be fairly easy. However, if you're looking to challenge yourself, to exercise those legs, and to enjoy the Arizona outdoors and view at top, then I would recommend the hike. Certain parts are fairly steep, so take your time. It can get crowded, but fellow hikers are friendly and considerate. Don't forget the water!
Cons: Limited parking

One of the most crowded hikes in Arizona, but the terrain and view at the top make it worthwhile. This isn't an ideal hike for young children or the elderly, as scrambling is required in steep sections. For an easier hike with equally stunning city views, try Squaw Peak. Parking on the Echo Canyon side is horrible, expect to walk at least a 1/2 mile on weekends.
Pros: Great views
Cons: Crowded, Not enough parking
