Arizona Trail to High Jinks

This pretty route on part of the Santa Catalina section of the Arizona Trail offers a shorter alternative to the Oracle segment day hike, in case you and your dog only have just so much quality tail-wagging time to spend on the trail. Even though it is a short hike, plan to pack in plenty of water since a fair proportion of the trail is fully exposed. (As in all fragile desert environments, pack out all waste.)
