Don't underestimate this "small" mountain in the middle of the city! This hike is on the above average difficulty level. #BRINGWATER

Parking is limited but the hiking is fantastic. It’s more of a workout than a hike. Highly recommend you bring plenty of water.

For me it is tougher going down being a tall guy but great hike.

Camalback Hike is not for the faint of heart (or those who have issues with heights), but if you make it to the top the view is worth the effort. Bring lots of water.

Where is the lower parking lot?

Joe Fifer | Apr 4, 2022
Dustin Parks | Apr 4, 2022

After the guard gate, the parking on the hill on the way in is considered the lower parking... Either way parking is a joke, there just really is no good time to park, unless you get there 2 or 3 hours before it opens..
