Absolutely an amazing hike! The views at the top were worth every step. This is a difficult trail, especially if you're not used to hiking in rocky terrain. Do not be fooled by the locals running up & down the mountain in tennis shoes; hiking boots or shoes with an aggressive tread are a must! Also, everybody on the trail was very encouraging & courteous, looking forward to hiking here again!

Very difficult hike, one must be very careful as rocks can be slippery and i have seen several people slip and hurt their legs/knees. Its has very nice views and the exercise is great.

Great way to ring in the New Year! First time hiking Camelback and what a beautiful hike it is. Great view of the entire Valley. Not a difficult hike but you do have to be careful as it is not a walk in the park.

Very difficult "climb" for the top half, not a "hike." Not for beginners or untrained children. I'm a seasoned backpacker from WA and I've been on some technical climbs that didn't involve safety lines and this was up there with somewhat dangerious for people without sure footing. Not a too hard of a climb when when it comes to stamina, but it will zap you if you aren't prepared. We did it in December and it was only in the 60's/70's. That day there were 2 separate emergency rescues for people who fell and cracked the heads open. That all said, it was an epic climb with amazing views and hundreds of people on the trail.
