Camelback Mountain

Very fun climb. Matt our guide was very knowledgeable about the mountain and trail. It was very fun.

This is and extreme double diamond climb but our guide, Matt, was amazing. This guy is the real deal. Has hiked and climbed most of the top peaks in America and the world.. Climbed part of Mount Everest. If you are visiting Phoenix and in shape, this climb is a must.

Ryan was a wonderful guide. He was informative and attentive to our needs in terms of pace, breaks, water, snacks and everything we needed for this hike. This hike is strenuous and he carefully picked a route through boulder fields and steeper inclines. We were rewarded with fantastic views and a real sense of accomplishment. He shared interesting stories about his adventure sports and really made this hike special for us.

Liz was fantastic and gave me such confidence as this was my first ever hike! Talk about a challenge for an averagely fit 52 year old. So rewarding and fun. A must do when you visit the area! Go early to avoid the heat.

My guided tour with Matt was wonderful. He kept me motivated the entire day. His knowledge of the plants and animal life were very impressive; I learned quite a lot from him. But above all else, I love that he is a protector of Camelback Rock!

This was a challenging but rewarding experience. Michael our guide was wonderful, he kept us going, he encouraged us all the way. I’m so glad my daughter and I got to have this adventure together.

I had a great time. The whole hike had amazing scenery the entire time. My guide, Liz, was very freindly and informative. I felt like I hired a freind! I woyld definitely recommend!

July 2 through July 10 was the only time I could get to Scottsdale this year. Friends have just moved here, family events made scheduling tricky and so here I am. I wanted to hike and there aren’t a lot of tours going out in the summer (cos it’s 80,000 degrees). I wanted to climb Camelback and Viator is running one hike a day. Matt was my guide and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable, encouraging and an all around nice guy. We started at 5:30 AM on the Echo Canyon trail. People were already finishing the climb as we started. Up is super challenging and does include a good bit of scrabbling. But the views! I felt well hydrated. Down was harder for me. I was not going to jump rock to rock as some of the more experienced (and/or foolish) climbers could do. We got hit with some good strong sun. Matt knew what to do when I started getting nauseous and got me down that mountain (though I did suggest he just roll me off the side at one point 🤪). We got to the top! Thank you for everything!

This hike was seriously my favorite part of the trip! It is very hard but definitely doable for mostly everyone, I loved that we had guides to give us tips and tricks about arizona and everything that was seen on the hike! The guides were super helpful in every aspect especially since this was our first time! They brought us snacks and cold water for when we got to the top! They were super personable and very easy to talk to, extremely kind people! I would definitely do this hike again and now have fallen in love with hiking! I will be hiking as often as I can from now on!! If you are thinking about doing this hike.. DO IT!! It’s so worth it! Also cannot speak more highly of the guides!!

Beautiful hike! So glad we had Michael there to show us the best way up and down - very personable and made it fun.

Hiking Camelback Mountain with Matt was an unforgettable experience! His positive attitude and facts about the area made the hike so much fun! Plus, he took awesome photos!! :) If you're thinking about booking, DO IT!

Great experience with Liz. I underestimated the difficulty of the hike when researching (my fault) so the wife and I didn’t make it all the way to the top. Liz was kind and patient with us stopping for breaks and filling time with stories and interesting facts. Made it almost to the top ridge so was I felt accomplished in that. Hopefully we will get a chance to come back and try again. Highly recommend Liz if you decide to take this venture. 👍👍
