Catalina residents find themselves in the beautiful desert valley between the Santa Catalina and Tortolita Mountains. The stunning mountain views are a major draw to this Northern Tucson neighborhood, along with a wealth of hiking trails through the Catalina State Park. And while Catalina is predominantly residential, locals have plenty of places to shop and eat along the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare.
Plants and birds and rocks and things
More than 30 miles of trails meander through the 5,500 acres of Catalina State Park, a popular spot for campers. The eight trail options are explored by hikers, bicyclists and even horseback riders, offering closer views of the Santa Catalina Mountains with tons of desert plants and wildlife.
