Trails On Camelback Mountain Temporarily Closed Due To Rain

From the City of Phoenix:

March 14, 2020

Camelback Mountain's Echo Canyon and Cholla trails were temporarily closed on Saturday as Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department staff worked to ensure both are safe for public use. There is concern that recent rain may have loosened rocks and boulders along the trails. Once
determined to be safe, the trails will be reopened.

All other City of Phoenix hiking trails are currently open.

Phoenix is home to more than 200 miles of trails, including in South Mountain Park/Preserve, North Mountain Park and the Sonoran Preserve. Hikers are encouraged to explore those other areas during this closure.

Detailed trail information, trailhead locations and important "Take a Hike. Do it Right." hiking safety guidelines can be found at Phoenix.gov/Parks/Trails.
