Catalina State Park has an assortment of trails for all energy levels. From the park, the hearty can hike clear up into the Santa Catalina Mountains, sleep out in the open, and walk for miles.For less stamina, my favorite trail is 2.6 miles and loops through the desert plateau down into a small canyon with a little creek-- a creek that is perfect for wading or sitting on a rock and meditating.
Because we were later than last year, I expected to find no wildflowers but there were plenty to admire along the trail. On the ridge above the creek canyon, the trees were just starting to leaf out which seems to indicate, to me, that Tucson is also having a late spring. No complaints from me.

Beautiful flowers! What a fun place to hike!
Such pretty Wild Flowers....!
When you said Catalina State Park, I'm thinking--Catalina Island...here, off of the coast...lol! But I know you are in Arizona....
It sure looks pretty there, Rain....And it looks so nice and warm, too!
Rain, you are right - cool weather hangs on here too. If Arizona runs true to form we will go from balmy (well windy now)to hot days overnight.
What a great place!!!! Thank you fr sharing it!
Photos of rocks makes me think the rocks are softly rounded like flesh. Excellent photographs.
Beautiful flower photos, Rain. I'm glad that you caught the wildflowers. Our redbud trees were three weeks early ablooming and got caught by the blizzard of the 27th-28th.

(I never noted before how similar the colors of your and Janeywan's hair. Both are beautiful!)
I love the photo of you on the rock with your feet in the water. I wish I was there to push you off that rock and sit a spell......just kidding.
That would be fun, Beverly :) There were several good sitting rocks.
And thanks on my hair. I am enjoying letting it be the color it wants to be and the light changes it all the time. Wednesday I am having it permanented. I have no idea what that will do.
Gorgeous photos. I feel like I went on the hike, too.
