Parks & Recreation Camelback Mountain—This mountain got its name because it looks like a camel’s hump. It is full of red cliffs and many hiking areas. The cliffs rise 200ft vertical in some locations luring lots of rock climbers to the area. In addition, there are 4 trailheads to choose from. Two are easy and two are strenuous, and are only recommended to experienced hikers. The trailheads are open from sunrise to sunset.
