I went here on a Sunday around 2:30 since the weather was super nice outside. I had never been here before but my dad hikes almost everyday here so I decided to go with him. The parking was really hard to find at first. We drove around to almost every parking spot they had available and there was no empty spots. After driving around for about 20 minutes we almost decided to just go to Echo Canyon Trail on Camelback Mountain but as we headed towards the exit we found a parking spot. I like how they have bathrooms as well instead of just nothing. I actually enjoy hiking and have no problem hiking since I am in pretty good shape but hiking this mountain was a little bit frustrating for me. There is a lot of steps going up this mountain. Just like how Echo Canyon Trail on Camelback Mountain used to be. So I suggest if you do not like hiking on step after step to not go to this mountain. I personally hate climbing steps so I immediately did not want to go far. I did end up going far but did have to take breaks throughout the way since before this I hadn't hiked in about eight months. Overall I probably won't come back to this mountain. I just don't like hiking on steps and some parts are hard to get up so I definitely would not recommend coming here alone your first time if you are going to.
