Why Hiking Camelback Mountain in Phoenix Should Be on Your Travel Bucket List
"It's going to be a hard route. It's vertical at times."
I smiled, thinking these locals were exaggerating, trying to scare off a tourist as they described a trail that was less than 1.5 miles up Camelback Mountain, the iconic peak towering over Phoenix.

It would be a breeze, and it's one of those trails that every hiker and outdoors-lover should put on their bucket list.
Cut to me halfway up the mountain, grasping on to the handrails installed in the mountainside. I would have laughed at my yesterday self if I had the breath to waste. Here's what I learned about climbing the iconic Camelback.
