About This Trail

Imported description

There is a hike with great mountain vistas. The most popular hikes in the Catalinas are combine in the point to point hike. Don't be foolish, this hike is not for the faint-hearted, it includes breathtaking canyon views and mountain top views, but if you're not careful, you could be in big trouble. A hike to Finger Rock alone takes a long time to complete, it takes as long as a week to drink most of your water and bring as much as possible. Take the " right turn" near the summit of the canyon when the trail splits. At the half way point, you're at the summit. You will get a reason to smile when you walk through Pima Canyon the remaining downhill portion. If you want to leave as early as possible, have that camera with you.
