THE CATALINA FOOTHILLS…The Other Tucson

Life Between Sprawling Suburbs And The Old City of Tucson

Living in the mountain foothills of Tucson offers the best of both worlds
for those who don't mind driving. For many the spectacular vistas of the city
and the Sonoran Desert are well worth trading for the lack of city restaurants,
entertainment and shopping.
 
   

living with desert critters in the Tucson foothills

The havalinas, mountain lions and pack rats were here first

Looking out a window and seeing nature in action can be a great experience but...
Foothill residents soon get used to looking out for rattlesnakes, spiders and scorpions around their gardens but most find it worth it to be able to live in the desert.

 

Winter storms bring dramatic mountain scenes on snowy December days.
