Since the Bowl game didn't officially start until 8:00 p.m. we had the entire day to hang out in Phoenix. After sitting in a car for 2 full days, we decided we needed to move a little and not sit aruond the house all day. The perfect opportunity to hike Camelback!
Camelback Mountain is only about 5 minutes from Mary's house (in the middle of town) and today was the perfect day to hike to the top because it was about 60° outside and sunny. Mary dropped us off at the entrance and then entertained Kaden at her house for a couple of hours.
It seemed as though everyone else in town thought it was a perfect day for a hike because there were TONS of people ascending & descending the 1,280 foot peak.

I'm so glad that we were in decent enough shape to make it to the top.
It was awesome to see a 360° view of the entire Phoenix metro area, otherwise known as the
"Valley of the Sun," and surrounding mountains.
