catalina state park印象

This was the most enjoyable visit on our recent trip. Not overcrowded, beautiful views and wide variety of trails for all likings... Not to miss.

I like the loop trail here - just around 3 miles. Perfect when you want to get out in the desert but don't have much time. There are longer trails here too, but they are up, up, up. In spring you'll be crossing over a shallow stream several times, so be prepared

Great place for Spring hikes. Mountain views are great. Camping facilities are not quite so good but OK if you want to be near Tucson. No fires, no shade, OK facilities.

I booked us at Catalina State Park because we needed to be close to Tucson International Airport. Being so close to the city, my expectations were low, but when I arrived I was delighted to see the beautiful mountains within walking distance, and the miles of hiking trails. Our site was spacious and pretty, and the facilities were excellent, with big, clean showers and plenty of hot water. Anyone who enjoys hiking will be very pleasantly surprised by the miles of beautiful trails that lead up the mountains to various fresh water pools via interesting trails full of switchbacks. The geology as you go to the higher elevations is very interesting, and the views are lovely. The campsites are full of Round Tailed Ground Squirrels that don't seem to cause any trouble (except holes) and are extremely cute. There is also excellent birding.From Catalina you are 15 miles from the airport, but allow plenty of time to navigate the many traffic lights on Oracle Blvd. The city of Tucson is also very convenient and well worth a day trip.

On a visit to Tucson, looked for a local place for morning hikes before predicted afternoon rain. We found a choice of well-maintained trails of various lengths. Very scenic. We'd visit again.

I have a year pass which I use mostly to clear my head with different scenery and to give my two dogs a different walk. I have yet to have a bad hike. Sometimes the water is flowing and you will get wet feet so consider shoes that can handle it and still be comfortable for some distance. Favorites with dogs, Birding trail, Canyon Loop (my favorite overall) and Nature Trail. Pure hike without dogs -Sutherland Trail to the end, vistas are unbelievable! and Romero Pool. I also went on a horseback ride from Pusch Ridge Stables (futher north on Oracle) and rode into the Park from a different vantage point. Poppies are blooming as is the lupine.

The campground has a lot of partial hookup sites and there are trees between most of them, but when we there in March they didn't have leaves so there wasn't much privacy. In the summer when the trees have leaves it would be very pleasant. A lot of birds around if you're a birder. Be sure to reserve a campsite early for the spring! They were full every day and we could only reserve a site for two nights and then move to another site when it popped up at the last minute. Very nice trails: Canyon Loop Trail was our favorite. There is a new shopping center across the higway with a great walmart. Only a 30 minute drive into Tucson. The "visitor center" is nothing special; very small entry station with some trinkets and books for sale. Staff was friendly and accomodating.

This is a great park for families and folks who are looking for a desert hiking experience that is not too heavy and who want a diverse landscape with great views. We regularly come to the park. Parking is plentiful and there are several hiking trails that are well marked and easy to access. Once on the trails there are not restrooms; however, there are restrooms at the parking lot. Most trails are easy for hikers, with some mostly flat. It's a great place for a day hike.

If you are in Tuscon and want to go hiking, take the scenic trail here! it seems like no one takes this trail and it is so amazing! Everyone wants to travel up the mountain but you are missing the small things on this trail!
