I was in Tucson, Arizona for a tradeshow. This was a very quick trip, and I only had about an hour to hike at the end of the day. I decided to go to Catalina State Park, an area in the Santa Catalina Mountains that I have not yet hiked, and do a short loop.
I parked at the trailhead at the end of the park road, and took the Sutherland Trail as it meandered alongside the wash. I then climbed up and took the Canyon Loop Connector Trail to the Romero Canyon Trail, which I took back to the trailhead.
