Camelback Mountain, Mountain summit in Phoenix, United States.

Camelback Mountain is a 2,704-foot (825 m) peak in Phoenix, Arizona, rising about 1,280 feet (390 m) above its immediate surroundings. Its upper part is 1.5-billion-year-old Precambrian granite, while the camel's head is 25-million-year-old red sandstone. The mountain is split by a geologic unconformity between these two formations.

The Hohokam used caves on the slope for ceremonies until they left the region in the 14th century. Phoenix protected the peak in 1968 as part of the natural heritage of Arizona.

The name comes from the mountain's silhouette, which resembles a kneeling camel when seen from the south. The peak gives its name to Camelback Road, a 34-mile (55 km) east-west street running from Scottsdale through Phoenix to Litchfield Park. The mountain is listed among the Phoenix Points of Pride.

The Echo Canyon Trail runs 1.14 miles (1.8 kilometers) to the summit, while the Cholla Trail measures 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometers), both requiring good fitness. Water and sun protection are necessary, especially during summer months when temperatures rise sharply.

A rock formation on the northern slope is called the Praying Monk and shows the outline of a kneeling person. This silhouette stands out especially when the sun sits low and shadows highlight the contours.
