5/5 Sheri L. 2 years ago on Google
We
wanted
to
ensure
we
got
in
a
couple
of
state
parks
around
Tucson
before
we
headed
further
west.
After
asking
around
and
checking
reviews
we
decided
to
check
out
Catalina
State
Park.
One
of
the
Important
factors
for
us
was
dogs
being
allowed
on
the
trails.
The
first
trail
we
did
What
is
the
Romero
Ruin
Interpretive
trail.
This
trail
was
only
.4
miles/.9
km
and
a
very
easy
walk.
There
are
some
stairs
that
you
need
to
climb
to
get
to
the
top
however
they
are
not
difficult
and
nice
and
wide.
The
interpretive
guide
signs
explaining
The
history
were
very
clear
to
read
and
in
good
shape;
not
like
some
other
places
we
have
been
to.
We
met
a
couple
up
there
that
explained
about
the
pottery
that
was
scattered
about
and
if
they
didn’t
show
us
what
a
piece
looked
like
we
would
never
of
known;
now
we
know
what
to
look
for.
But
once
again
please
do
not
remove
anything
from
the
park
and
keep
it
there
for
others
to
enjoy!
We
spoke
to
one
of
the
Rangers
on
our
way
in
and
he
said
his
favourite
spot
to
watch
the
sunset
was
on
the
ridge
of
Natures
Trail.
We
parked
and
started
this
particular
hike
around
4:40
pm
and
got
to
a
perfect
spot
where
there
was
a
rock
to
sit
on
to
watch
the
sunset;
which
was
scheduled
for
5:20pm.
It
was
a
beautiful
sunset
like
every
Arizona
night
we
have
seen;
it’s
so
nice
to
see
it
from
different
perspectives.
We
didn’t
see
too
many
animals
while
we
were
in
the
park
however
we
did
see
a
tiny
gopher/marmot,
coyote
birds,
horses
and
deer
prints.
The
kids
were
looking
for
a
snake
although
I
don’t
think
they
really
wanted
to
find
one
as
we
have
experienced
rattlesnakes
up
close
and
they
are
kind
of
scary
:-)
Somebody
on
the
trail
told
us
to
watch
out
for
tarantulas-
The
only
thing
we
really
saw
on
the
ground
or
lots
and
lots
of
ants.
This
was
a
great
place
to
go
and
stretch
your
legs!
