Discover the Majestic Camelback Mountain

Public Transit

From any central location in Gilbert, head to the nearest Valley Metro light rail station. The closest stations are located in Mesa, which you can reach by taking the Valley Metro bus routes 120 or 138. Once you arrive at the Mesa light rail station, board the light rail heading towards the Sycamore/Main Street direction. After several stops, disembark at the 44th Street/Washington station. From there, you will need to transfer to Bus Route 72 towards 32nd Street. Stay on the bus for about 15 minutes until you reach the intersection of 32nd Street and Camelback Road. From this point, Camelback Mountain will be visible, and you can walk approximately 20 minutes to the main trailhead.
