Easily accessible from Tucson, Cat Mountain is a 3,852-foot peak that offers excellent scrambling and hiking opportunities. The mountain's proximity to the city means that many visitors choose to spend the night in one of the many accommodation options there, but 130 sites are available at the nearby Gilbert Ray Campground for anyone wishing to camp. Because of the mountain's relatively low altitude, visitors are advised to come during the cooler weather of the fall, spring, and winter; March and April are great for wildflower-viewing.
