Camelback Mountain, Mountain summit in Phoenix, United States.
Camelback Mountain rises 2707 feet above the Sonoran Desert floor, featuring red sandstone cliffs and granite formations that shape its distinctive profile.
The mountain held sacred significance for the Hohokam people, who used its caves for ceremonies until their departure from the region in the 14th century.
The mountain became a Phoenix Point of Pride in 1968, representing the natural heritage of Arizona through its protected status and recreational trails.
The Echo Canyon Trail extends 1.14 miles to the summit while the Cholla Trail stretches 1.4 miles, both requiring substantial physical effort and water supplies.
The northern slope features a rock formation called the Praying Monk, which displays the outline of a person kneeling in prayer.
