5 DAYS IN ARIZONA’S CATALINA STATE PARK . . .

This is about the notice in the header with that title - 5 DAYS IN ARIZONA’S CATALINA STATE PARK. I lived in Tucson most of my life, spent a lot of hours hiking in Catalina State Park, and the photo used for that thumbnail simply was NOT taken in Catalina State Park!



In fact, I'm pretty sure it was not even taken in the state of Arizona. Hope nobody signs up for that deal expecting to see scenery like that at Catalina State Park. The park is nice, but not that nice.

Does not look like any area I have ever seen in the state, and I have been all over hell there.

It's in the northern west tip, next to the unicorn factory.

Now does it look like Arizona?? (I see the picture changed). I don't know that the pictures are necessarily chosen by whoever wrote the article (this one being Justin from Visionary Wild - the first photo didn't look like his style). Seems like the pictures are usually from some PT member's gallery.

Yes. If not inside Catalina State Park that is at least very close to the park. Those are the Catalina Mountains in the background. There are lots of photographic opportunities all around the Catalinas. And (big bonus) a good highway up the mountain makes it very accessible to everybody (not just hikers).

Kelly now approves :thumbsup:
