Route Description for Romero Ruins Hike
Tucson is dotted with ruins and artifacts from days long past, and the Romero Ruins are remnants from a prehistoric walled city. Check out the ruins and read about their past on this quick, easy jaunt in Catalina State Park. This route is easy enough for all ages and skill levels and since it’s so short, it’s easy to tack onto a day in the park in addition to other hikes or a picnic.
Dogs are allowed on the trails in the park as long as they’re on a leash. Although this hike is short, bring water with you as there isn’t any shade.
From the trailhead, cross the wash and stay left immediately. Take some time to admire the tall saguaros on the path with their many arms, as well as the mountains in the distance. Once you reach the ruins, you can read the informative signage to learn about the area’s history. The ruins are mostly a low stone wall now. When you’re ready, continue around the loop and then cross the wash back to the trailhead.
