Camelback Mountain Cholla TrailNorth Invergordon Road and East Cholla Lane
Phoenix, AZ 85253

Camelback Mountain is one of the city's largest peaks, and it has a reputation of being quite a hairy climb. But its eastern-side trail, Cholla, offers a way to blow off some steam without having to call in the rescue helicopters. Younger children can easily climb up to the “saddle” of the camel — the halfway point to the summit — and older ones can venture on. Great views of the city and clear pathways make this a great way to spend a couple of hours outdoors with the kids. (Parking is a little further offsite so be prepared to start hiking right out of the car!)
