For Catalina State Park: Awesome spot. If your looking to tent camp, there is great camping on Romero trail about 5 miles in at a spot called "old trail camp". If not, the hike up to Romero pools is well worth the hike. Great pools that you can swim in during the warm season .

For Catalina State Park: Outstanding park located adjacent to Oro Valley. By far the best and most heavily travelled trail is Romero Pools. Spectacular views of granite peaks, 10 to 20 foot waterfalls, and of course Romero Pools where you can swim, jump off rocks into hot tub sized depressions carved out over the years, relax and listen to the bubbling stream, and more. Be careful and investigate before trying to jump in as many serious injuries have occurred from not doing your homework/investigation ahead of time. Truly a remarkable location with clear mountain streams, cat tails lining the creek, cottonwood trees and more. Please pack out what you bring in as too many leave garbage behind!
