The best view of Phoenix can be had by climbing the trails at Camelback Mountain between Phoenix and Paradise Valley. Two trails will lead you up to the peak: a steep, rugged trail called Echo Canyon and a less strenuous trail called Cholla. For a unique adventure, try a Camelback Mountain e-bike & hike tour, which combines the excitement of e-biking with the thrill of hiking the Cholla Trail. The courses are over a mile long (1.14 and 1.4 miles, respectively). The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, offering breathtaking views along the way.
