MUMMY MOUNTAIN

Not As Well Known As Camel Back But So Close

You will find Mummy Mountain and the walking trails at the rear of the

J W Marriott Camelback Inn on Lincoln Avenue in Paradise Valley.

MUMMY MOUNTAIN was originally called Windy Gulch or Horseshoe Mountain but Charles Mieg purchased the land in 1940 for $12,000 and because of its resemblance to an Egyptian Mummy he called it Mummy Mountain and marketed parcels of land under that name. It is now a place with walking trails and sits at the back of the
