| 2007-10-25 River walk The Santa Cruz river walk has lower traffic than the Rillito, though bikes and pedestrians share the path in some areas. Excellent views of Sentinal Peak ("A" Mountain) - and the Pima County Jail -from this stretch of walkway between Silverlake and 22nd St. | add comment |
| 2007-10-12 Santa Cruz - wildlife throughfare Coyotes, toads, cottontails, jackrabbits, lizards, snakes, hawks, kestrels, burrowing owls - all make their homes or travel thru the Santa Cruz. One year the Great Blue Heron that was hanging out at Kennedy Lake even showed up in the wash. Sometimes after the first heavy rains of the season you can literally see the tadpoles flowing down the river; but then the rains have to last a week or two for any to survive to toadhood."" | add comment |
| 2008-05-25 Santa Cruz graded south of Irvington? I could be mistaken, but driving past the Santa Cruz on Irvington road, it looked like the riverbed had been graded bare to the south. We've walked there before, and the small stands of palo verdes and mesquites were gone. Isn't this some kind of protected habitat or open space?" | add comment |
2011-01-01  Santa Cruz photos The Santa Cruz wash offers plenty of photography opportunities, as well as local history and possible archeological finds (look for chipped obsidian). This item is a placeholder for collections of photos along the Santa Cruz wash. | add comment |
