Phoenix is on (Camelback) Santa’s Nice List!

On select mornings every December, John "Camelback Santa" Cressey and his elves bring a Christmas tree with bird-seed ornaments to the top of Camelback Mountain, one of Phoenix’s most famed and difficult peaks. Cressey dawns the Kris Kringle suit and hits the trail on Dec. weekends and Dec. 21-25 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., handing out thousands of candy canes and inspiring joy to all of those who make it to the top.
