Camelback Mountain Climb

Hi all! This will be our first trip to Scottsdale. One day we would like to hike/climb Camelback mountain. We are staying in the Old Town neighborhood near the Scottsdale/Camelback intersection. We won%26#39;t have a car, so what%26#39;s the best way to get there and back?

You might check with the staff where you are staying about a shuttle you can reserve, any public transportation that might travel that route or call a taxi...it is not within walking distance of Scottsdale Rd. and Camelback. Follow the safety guidelines on these links, especially about footwear, carrying sufficient water, cell phones. You do not mention what time of year you are hiking, but if it is late spring or summer, best to go at sunrise.

Thanks for the info and links. I leave tomorrow for AZ!!! Will be there until the 10th staying in a condo!! Yeah!!! Getting out of this cold! I was thinking of just getting a cab to take us there and then making sure we had their number so we could be picked up when we were done. How far is it from where we are staying?

probably about 2 miles (or less) each way...depending where you are near Scottsdale %26amp; Camelback Rds.

Just wanted to say that I got back from Arizona and loved it! We actually walked to Camelback from Scottsdale Road where we were staying (we were staying at Scottsdale and Highland.) The Cholla Trail was the one we found so did that trail. What a fun experience! We went early and the weather was beautiful. Thanks for all of your helpful info before we went!

Terrific! Thanks for letting us know.
