During a 40 mile ride, I noted the back entrance (free) to Sabino Canyon had more parked cars than I’ve seen. Many more outside this pic.
Od how the outcropping of rock was shaded and surrounded by sun.
I was coming down Soldier Trail Rd when I passed this interesting fence. Between the concrete pillars, a couple of guys were digging holes to thrust 9′ sections of mesquite trunks into the ground and then placing branches in between to create a fence. Quite expensive.
Now this is an oddity, a tree, having dropped its leaves, requires raking. People raking leaves or mowing grass is rather unusual here.
Arrived at Catalina SP for a hike. The entrance is $10, which is ok but if there is a second person in the car, it’s $20!!! Ridiculous and if more than 2 people, even higher. By contrast, other area parks have a per vehicle fee.
We headed toward what I know as “Hidden Falls” a cool side canyon.
Rich, green grass is all over.
Water is flowing lightly in the wash.
We pass the “green rock” and I intended to make a loop out of this hike, I was unable to find the faint route over to the rock so this was an out and back hike
Alas, no water was coming down the falls. The water we had crossed came from one canyon over so….
….headed there but the trail dove into the canyon and we decided to come back and explore that. I’m certain the water flowing through here also comes through Romero Pools so water ought to flow for a while.
