It was a physical hike and very Hot. Hydration is key. I absolutely loved it and would do it again. Having a guide was great as well, very helpful, not a necessity but recommended if it's your first time. Curtis was amazing. He was friendly, informative, and extremely helpful. He catered to us regarding hydration, food, and stating cool . Great workout. Going to the top is a must, plan for 3 hours, maybe 3 and a half so you are not rushed.

What an experience climbing Camelback Mountain! My guide Michael 💪 made the day from a normal climb like most other tourist into an adventure/experience that I would not have had without him as a guide. We took a route far less traveled upon and he showed me some routes that he used on his own personal hikes. This allowed for some bouldering, a little climbing, and not being around the crowds near as much. I was able to see other parts of the mountain that a typical person would have missed. It also gave me even more a sense of accomplishment to reach the top! Throughout the hike he shared some education on the area, wildlife, vegetation, and other hikes to do in the area. He also took some amazing pictures that I would have never captured if I hiked by myself. I would recommend a guide for solo hikers or small groups, and I would highly recommend Michael as the guide of choice!

Michael was a great guide and coach. He provided lots of info and important tips to make our hike to the top of Camelback safe and insightful. Having never hiked with bouldering we were grateful to have a knowledgeable guide and we had an amazing experience. We highly recommend using a guide for this hike.
