Baby Jesus Loop
This is a loop hike at the base of the Catalina Mountains that passes some very interesting rock formations and vegetation. It climbs and loops around through 180 degrees, crossing two major washes and several minor ones before meeting up with the main Baby Jesus trail. That trail leads back to the trailhead via a wash taking the trail to the left of the wash and up the hill to return over a scenic landscape back to the road.
