Not really an outdoor girl. I believe in exercising as God intended -- running in place indoors on a treadmill with some tunes playing! That said, I am proud to say I did the Echo Canyon trail with some of my gal pals and we made it in under 3 hours despite not being what you'd call experienced hikers. What can I say, we were motivated by the promise of margaritas afterward! Camelback is truly a beautiful place, though, and in spite of my preference for indoors and air conditioning, there's some sweet moments to be had in nature, and while it's not my favorite way to spend a weekend, it was a challenge and I'm glad I did it. \n\nIf you're going with a group, meet elsewhere and carpool, though, because everything people say about the parking is absolutely true.
