Climbing camelback was an amazing experience. Went up the echo trail which is the most strenuous but it was definitely worth it. The mountain trail opened at sunrise around 6am and the line to the parking lot was fairly long so I would recommend going early; however don't go too early because there isn't really a place to wait In your car and the cops came and made everyone move and drive around 4 minutes before they opened the lot gate!!! Although the echo trail was fairly difficult I went with my gf, her mom, and younger brother and we all made it to the top, even though her mom had some knee problems. Just pace yourself and make sure to bring a lot of water, sunscreen, and wet towels ( we put a few cold wet towels In plastic bags and they were amazing when it started to get real hot). Do not climb late in the day (after 10am) if it's the summertime because the heat is very taxing on the body. Also the view from the top is amazing!
