| no partners | | I’ll call this one the Trans-Catalina or the Tucson R2R. Similar stats. Weather was beautiful. Hutch’s pool was cooler than expected. Romero pools were a little less exciting than when we visited last year.
Would like to do it again when there is more water flowing.
We dropped a car at Catalina and then drove down to Sabino for the start. Saw a couple of road walkers and a biker over the short section of road before taking the Phoneline connector.
Passed 2 other people on the Phoneline then didn’t see another soul until Romero pools.
The trail was easy to follow throughout. Only one spot on the Romero side where we had to backtrack slightly to see that the trail took a high route up from a campsite near a seasonal waterfall (which has prompted folks to tramp out a defined path to its base that looks a lot like the official trail).
Speaking of campsites, lots of great spots along the trail. I marked several on my route.
Overall, a great way to experience the Catalinas. |
