Catalina State Park, Arizona

One of the hikes we did a day before I left for Ohio was to go to Catalina State Park which is about a twenty minute drive from Picacho. We both agreed that we need to make this park one that we go to alot. Biking, hiking trails, camping if we wanted to move the RV there, historical ruins are there. One trail we saw goes up to Mount Lemmon where we went to the previous week. However, the trail is rated extreme - don't think we will do that one. One of the trails is a birding trail and was told that March and April are the best times to go along this trail for watching birds and to take pictures of flowers. Since we are in winter mode now, everything is kinda dull and not much life. However, we could hear birds all around us, even caught a lizard sleeping on a rock. If you zoom in on the picture above, you will see the lizard with it's eyes closed. The ruins we walked reminded us of the hike we did to the Presidio near Tombstone. Informative, but had to use your imagination as to what you were looking at. Definitely will go back there soon.
