Arizona has been emerging as one of the top destinations for family travelers thanks to its beautiful mesas, warm weather and luxurious accommodations. Vacationers that rent luxury villas in the Grand Canyon State have a wealth of opportunities when it comes time for adventure, though those looking for an exciting hike to one of the tallest points in the region will definitely want to set their sights towards Camelback Mountain.

Standing more than 2,700 feet tall, Camelback Mountain is one of the highpoints of the greater Phoenix area, both literally and figuratively. Once considered a sacred site in the Hohokam culture, the mountain has since been reimagined as an ideal destination for recreational hiking and mountain climbing.

Each year, the mountain's red sandstone cliffs draw thousands of adventurers, and with two summit trails offering challenges for both new and experienced hikers, Camelback is a great way to spend the day trekking with family and friends.

Best of all, there are a number of luxury vacation rentals in the area that are perfect for trail-blazing travelers. One of the most opulent is the Camelback Vista, a stunning six-bedroom, eight-bath villa that offers a number of winning amenities and a stellar view of the mountain that cannot be beat.
