The Catalina Foothills is an area in north Tucson that is nestled against the Catalina Mountains.  The dramatic city and mountain views are highly sought after.   

The Catalina Mountains got their name from a Jesuit priest, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino.  One story says that he named them after his sister, Catarina.  Another story says he named it after St. Catherine. 

Sabino Canyon is the area at the east end of the Catalina Foothills area.  Click here to see information on Sabino Canyon area.
