Conquering Camelback Mountain

December 11, 2007

I tagged along with Matthew on his business trip to Phoenix last weekend. We were nervous about the weather reports of chilly, rainy days. Luckily Saturday stayed dry, and we were able to check out one of the most popular hikes in the area, Camelback Mountain. The path up to the summit is pretty vertical, making it quite a challenge, but when we arrived at the top, so we were treated to panoramic views of Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Parts of the hike were so vertical, it was more like rock climbing.
