text: For first timers park along Invergordon Rd south of the turn on Cholla Lane Do not park on Cholla It will make the local hillside folk quite sour and your car might be towed Walk up and access the trail from Cholla And voilue your warm up is completennThe reviews are correct This side of Camelback mountain is an easier hike compared to Echo Canyon The terrain here is somewhat more slippery and the rock separations will test your balance and ankle strength Be sure to wear appropriate shoes to keep you steady Take your time and you can choose your own path towards the top nnOne of the best times to come is before sunrise Nearby parking should still be available and you should not need a headlamp I would shoot for a am start on the trailhead to get your moneys worth The view will be wonderful nnAdvanced Challenge Do an over and back Head up Cholla and go down Echo Canyon Drink some water and turn right round baby right round Back up Echo and down to where you startednnHappy Hiking Phoenix
