Camelback Part 2

Saturday we (Kelly, Kat, Holly and myself) went back to Camelback Mountain to complete the climb we couldn't earlier in the week. The climb/hike to the top is 1200 feet up and over 2.8 miles. We started our climb to late in the day on Tuesday. Saturday we got to the mountain around 5:45 AM to beat the heat and the sun. We got up to the top in about an hour. Coming down took longer because of all the climbing involved. It's a lot more than just a "hike." The climb was definately worth it. When we got to the top you could see the entire valley from every direction. The hike/climb up Camelback will definately be something I do several times. Esepecially when people come out to visit me. Kelly has already suggested climbing to the top and having a picnic.

Here are some great shots from the "top of the world." Ok, the top of Pheonix!
