Catalina State ParkUp on the lower northwest flank of the Catalinas lies Catalina State Park, one of the great parks of Arizona. Catalina is famous for many thing:
- Excellent desert-foothills hiking
- Neat geology
- A nice bosque of mesquite
- Great birding, especially for owls
- Wild spring wildflowers, during some years, anyway
- Fun camping
- A nice Hohokam village, called Romero Ruin. Our job will be to compare and contrast this site Hohokam site with the others we've seen in this class.
