Camelback Mountain’s popular hiking trail set to reopen after 2 years… Cholla Trail, a popular hike to the summit of Camelback Mountain, has been closed for renovation since March 2020 and is now scheduled to open Sept. 30. The trail was closed for renovation due to safety issues with erosion of boulders on the upper part of the trail and foot traffic near the entrance. Park rangers, park stewards and a trail contractor have completed hundreds of hours of work improving the trail, according to the city’s website. They have removed unstable boulders, fixed the trail tread and incorporated more trail posts, which has resulted in an overall safer trail. The other main focus of the renovation was a new trail alignment in a landscaped area away from the residential Cholla Lane where people originally walked to access the entrance.
