| Did this in the afternoon on a full belly after a big Thanksgiving dinner. Did it in about an hour and fifteen minutes finishing at sunset. Nice leg workout. | |

| Justin Pucci | Camelback Mountain via Echo Canyon Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2009 | |
| This was a great little climb with lots of leg-burning, scrambly bits! I've personally never seen so many people on one mountain before...I made it from TH to summit in 44:18, but a good amount of time was wasted in waiting for the line of people. The trail is very well maintained, but offers a lot of options for going off on your own. It took me over an hour to find a parking spot though, so go early! | |

| BethS | Cholla and Echo Canyon Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2008 | |
| Climbed pretty much every week from late May to late Aug last year. Both are nice trails, Echo is steeper and shorter, sometimes tougher to get parking, especially around sunrise. I also did the loop (up Cholla and down Echo) then back around to the car for a bit longer hike, though some of it is on sidewalk! | |

| mensan | Camelback in the Morning Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2007 | |
| An amazing urban hike & a beautiful little mountain. I climbed it every morning I got the chance while I was in Phoenix; its a must-climb if your in the valley, but show up before sunrise. I personally did the ascent in under 29 minutes one morning, but i suspect it could be done much faster. | |

| Nice day, lots of hikers for a weekday, but better than last time I was in Phoenix, when I couldn't even find a place to park. | ||

| sarah.simon | Echo Canyon Trail Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2008 | |
| This is one heck of a great after-meeting slog. After a day of sitting on a Canadair Regional Jet then presenting to potential clients, I headed out to summit this peak via the Echo Canyon Trail. I am an extremely heat intolerant person and the evening heat was torturous. I was overjoyed when the sun finally went down, which cooled the temperature a bit. I don't know how people live in Phoenix in the summer... Still, this is a great urban after work / meeting hike. | |

| Can't call yourself an AZ hiker if you don't hike this extremely popular peak and nearby Piestewa Peak (aka Squaw in redneck lingo) | |

| BradBartick | 12 times is a charm | |
| Did Camelback 12 times in one day over 14 hours in late February as part of training for Rim-Rim-Rim in GC. That's 15700 feet elevation in one day. | |
