This is the helicopter pad midway up Camelback Mtn. This is a great spot for amazing pictures. To the south you have downtown Phx, to the east you have the Superstition Mtn, and to the north you have the Mcdowell Mtn range. This is also a great spot to rest before heading to the summit.

Running

Top off power hiking with elementary bouldering! It was in and out for me. 30 minutes up didn’t permit me to reach the summit, but the sunset made my “almost there” worth it.
