As you explore the hottest and most bio-diverse desert in North America, the [[Sonoran Desert]], chances are you will see glimpses of over 60 species of mammals, 350 kinds of birds, amphibians and reptiles. The Sonoran Desert also houses an abundance of native flora and fauna, including the ancient towering Saguaro Cactus (the skyscrapers of the desert) whose blossom is the official state flower of [[Arizona]]. | As you explore the hottest and most bio-diverse desert in North America, the [[Sonoran Desert]], chances are you will see glimpses of over 60 species of mammals, 350 kinds of birds, amphibians and reptiles.

There are two trails that ascend to the top of Camelback Mountain: | |||
*1. <b>Summit Trail</b> (Echo Canyon) | |||
Length: 1.2 miles, one way<br> | |||
Elevation Gain: 1,264 feet (summit is 2,704 feet)<br> | |||
Difficulty: Strenuous and difficult<br> | |||
Enter at Echo Canyon Parkway just east of Tatum Boulevard, from McDonald Drive. Parking is extremely limited at this trail head and wait time for a spot on weekends is substantial. | |||
This is a very strenuous trail recommended only for experienced hikers. The tail ascends through some spectacular sandstone rock formations and offers unparalleled views from the summit of Paradise Valley below and Phoenix beyond. The park is open sunrise to sunset. | |||
