Tucson area hikes - Catalinas - Front Range hikes

What I call "front range hikes" are hikes accessed from various trailheads not along the Catalina Highway. Things like Pima Canyon, Ventana Canyon, even Sabino and Romero Canyons. It is important to know that there are hiking restrictions related to the bighorn sheep lambing season on many of the front range hikes. See the map below.

Dogs are forbidden year round.

From January 1 to April 30 you must stay on official trails (they allow 400 feet). All peaks are off limits except Kimball and Window Rock (which have official trails that take you to them.)
