Description
From Camel's Back Park proper, head east toward and past the tennis courts toward the corner of 9th and Heron. Here, you'll find the start of the Camels Back Trail which provides the looping, uphill climb up the nose toward the Camels Back Ridge Trail along the ridgeback. It can be hard to follow which trail you're on, but just continue north, generally following the ridgeback. Just before the half-mile point, head east (right) downhill on the 15th Street Trail to connect with the Red Fox Trail #36. Turn left (northeast) on the Red Fox Trail #36 for a quick loop to the south of the water tower, connecting with and taking the Chickadee Ridge #36A trail back toward the trailhead with a final stretch on the Red-Winged Blackbird Trail #35A.
