Camelback Mountain
Located in the scenic Sonoran Desert, Camelback Mountain is the most prominent landmark of the Phoenix skyline and is easily recognized by its distinctive camel-like head, “saddle” and hump.

This view shows Camelback's eastern side. Looking west (down Jackrabbit Rd.)from the intersection of Jackrabbit & Invergordon Roads. The dip in the center of the mountain is the "saddle" area, the Camel's head is on the right. Camelback's geologic formations are vastly different on its northern and western sides with their weirdly eroded sandstone formations and sheer cliff faces compared to the rocky granite eastern slopes. The mountain doesn't look very intimidating from a distance, but that myopic view changes quickly once on the mountain. From this point, it's about a 10 minute walk south on Invergordon and then west on Cholla Lane to the Cholla Trailhead.
