Description

Camelback Hike and Run Back to Start

We went up via the Echo Canyon Trail and returned via the Cholla Trail, covering about 4.5 km. From the Cholla Trailhead, we ran back to the Echo Canyon Trailhead, adding another 4.5 km. The total distance was just over 9 km.

Note

We arrived in the morning around 9 AM, but the trail was closed due to excessive heat. Reopening was scheduled for 5 PM. The temperature at 9 AM was actually much lower than at 5 PM, so the closure was a bit beyond my comprehension. Regardless, we waited the entire day until we could start the hike.
