💡 Good to Know
- Camel’s Back Reserve trails are pedestrian only, and dogs must be leashed. The hilltop route has a steep grade and stairs.
- In the adjoining Camel’s Back/Hulls Gulch network, Grove Loop #38 is a 0.64-mile natural-surface route at least 48 inches wide. Its steepest measured section reaches 12% for 10 feet, with cross-slopes up to 5%. The Grove trailhead has one paved designated accessible parking space. These measurements do not establish that the hilltop route is accessible.
