Lisa’s guidebook to the Catalina Foothills
Sightseeing
Go early and after rains to see the wash running! Return before 10 am in the summer. After about a 30 minute hike, trail gains altitude fast for beautiful, rapidly changing vistas of the mountains and cliffs. Saguaros.

7119 Pontatoc Canyon TrailGo early and after rains to see the wash running! Return before 10 am in the summer. After about a 30 minute hike, trail gains altitude fast for beautiful, rapidly changing vistas of the mountains and cliffs. Saguaros.
An easy hike early on, a great viewpoint / picnic spot at about 35 minutes in. Take Latte's and pastries from AJ's market (La Encantada) or the Danish Bakery (Swan and Sunrise), go early and head home for a siesta in summer. If ambitious, the full trail is a great workout, marvelous mountain views, but DRY and HOT if there is no cloud cover.

Food scene
The best margaritas around.
Live music many late afternoon / evenings makes an energized outdoor dining/drinking destination.
There is the Union and a pizza restaurant in the same plaza.
Fun women's clothing store there, too, and one of the many great Tucson coffee houses, Ren.
