A Tucson classic 5-mile round trip ascending into the Santa Catalina Mountains past 'The Window' — a dramatic natural rock arch formation framing the desert below. Gains 1,200 feet through diverse desert and riparian habitats.

Went for a sunrise hike, and the views from the top did not disappoint! The trail was well groomed and easily accessible through the resort we were staying at. For any new comers, I would definitely bring some sturdy hiking shoes, as you will travel up rocky slopes, climb giant boulders and jump over areas that have running water.

Trail is rough with steep inclines. A little over 6 miles to the pools and back. Recommend good shoes, water, and lunch. This hike takes most of the day to complete.

Dedicated large free parking area within spitting distance of the resort. The parking area offers easy access to the nearby trailhead which is at the top (North/mountain side) of the parking area. The flat and easy to follow Trail can quickly become deceiving after a couple of miles as the terrain, the elevation and the difficulty all increase. Kudos to those that make it to the top!

Found my Santosha (contentment) on the trails today. A massive thank you to Santosha Wellness Yoga for the amazing views and the wildlife encounters. It was a truly beautiful experience from start to finish. 🐾🙌

Took my son on his first hike here this morning. Hes 11 months old, borrowed a backpack from a coworker and hitup 1 mile of trail. Glad to see placed stones for stairs in steeper areas around the wash.
