Let's hike Camelback from both sides!

Details

This is going to be a very challenging hike!

We will start from the Cholla trailhead at 2:30 PM and make our way 1.5 miles to the summit. Following a brief rest, we will then make the quick 1.3 mile descent to the Echo Canyon trailhead, and then turn around and head back up to the summit, which should put us there right in time to enjoyt the sunset. We will then make our way back down to the Cholla trailhead, and for those who are interested, grab some (much needed) food and drink nearby.

As I stated above, this is going to be a tough hike, so consider your limitations before signing up (this is not for new/beginning hikers). Additionally, ensure that you bring at least 1-2 liters of water, along with snacks and electrolytes. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge at times on the Cholla side of Camelback, so plan on getting there at least 10-15 minutes before our start time (parking is only available on Invergordon, and it is about a 1/2 mile walk to the trailhead).

Meeting time: 2:30 PM
Meeting location: Cholla trailhead facility area
Duration: Approximately 3 hours
Distance: 5.6 miles out and back
Total Elevation Gain: 3200 feet
