Saguaro National Park East
The trail to Bridal Wreath Falls was a bit of a challenge, but the idea of seeing a waterfall in the desert was a novelty for us. Located in the eastern side of Saguaro National Park, the 7.75-mile trek rises 1,200 feet above the valley floor, eventually leading to the base of the small waterfall. We found a perfect lunch spot tucked beneath the shade of a giant boulder.
Catalina State Park
With one wrong turn, we managed to make this 4.6-mile Catalina State Park trail into just under six miles. The gorgeous Mountain views (almost) made up for the extra mileage, half of which was uphill. We reached the end, 900 feet above our starting point, and after a quick lunch started back down.
