Romero Pools
This is a very beautiful hike that leads to a really nice set of falls and pools. To enter the Catalina State Park costs $7 per vehicle with up to four adults. The first 1.1 miles is relatively flat and an easy walk. The next 1.7 miles are a steep and rocky climb to Romero Pools. It takes at least an hour and a half to get there and about the same to get back. This is a hike with a very beautiful view and definitely worth doing. The water at the pools is usually very cold, which can be really nice on a hot day.
