The very popular Echo Canyon Trail at Camelback Mountain closed for nearly a year for upgrades and renovations. Since reopening though, even more hikers and outdoor enthusiasts have decided to try the trail. That has led to increased congestion and jammed parking lots.

Cynthia Brown, parks supervisor for Phoenix Parks and Recreation, joined us to talk about it.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
