During one of our AZ roadtrips, we visited and climbed Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, AZ, stopping for a hookah and wine break halfway up! We ascended 1,280ft to the summit via the 1.4 mile Cholla Trail, which took us a few hours roundtrip, and saw this gorgeous view of Phoenix from the top!

Camelback Mountain (O'odham: Cew S-wegiom) is a mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. The English name is derived from its shape, which resembles the hump and head of a kneeling camel.[3] The mountain, a prominent landmark for the metropolitan Phoenix valley, is located in the Camelback Mountain Echo Canyon Recreation Area between the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix and the town of Paradise Valley. It is a popular recreation destination for hiking and rock climbing.
