Sightseeing

Hike Camelback Mountain! Echo Canyon trailhead is short drive from the condo and currently the only open hiking trail (Cholla Trail closed) up Camelback Mountain. Be aware - it is a strenuous hike up rocks and boulders - make sure you bring good hiking shoes, hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Hit the trail at sunrise - very crowded November - April.
