You Can Hike To See A Christmas Tree Atop Camelback Mountain In Arizona For A Limited Time
Hiking can sometimes be all work with no reward, but not at Camelback Mountain! During the holiday season, Santa and a fully ornamented Christmas tree will be awaiting your arrival at the summit. What a unique family tradition to adopt! Check it out:
It is relatively tough, with an elevation gain of more than 1,000 feet, but the effort definitely pays off.
It is slightly longer, facing the opposite direction to offer an entirely different viewpoint.
Critics have pushed back for years, arguing it invites littering, but the tradition persists nonetheless.
Camelback Santa has proudly graced the Christmas cards of families all over Arizona.
Each year, the volunteers involved dedicate their work to a specific cause. This year, it's honoring frontline workers and medical professionals who have worked heroically throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
Camelback Santa makes appearances on weekends leading up to Christmas week and will be handing out candy canes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. right up through Christmas Day. Follow Camelback Santa on Facebook for the most up-to-date information on when he'll make appearances.
Get ready to start a brand new holiday tradition sure to stick around for decades.
