Jan 18/2019 Weather 72/38 dry and sunny.
All week long we have been thinking we need to get out on the hiking trail to the Romero Ruin inside the Catalina State Park. Ok today is the day as we have to move on tomorrow.
This park is a killer to get into, it is so popular. Campers we talk to that come here every year book now for next year. We feel lucky we got 8 nights on a cancellation at last minute! Yeah! Yeah! We can sit everyday and just look at the views; but lets get that hike in too.
There are many hikers here; perhaps some headed the six miles up the back side of Mount Lemmon which currently has snow on top at over 10,000 feet.
The views on the hike were beautiful as we walked around the ancient Hohokam village. This settlement was from A.D. 500 to 1450. As many as 125 to
200 people may have lived here at the peak of settlement (around A.D.
900).
