And to cap off a good visit, a stop at the Nature Center brings all the neat Catalina Interior facts into one educational arena, with displays, tours and a small museum for guests to peruse. The flora within the confines of Catalina is interesting as well.

Not only do the cactus needles protect the plant, but they aid in spreading seeds by attaching to the fur of animals that pass too closely. Far from its parent plant, the needle eventually dislodges and drops to the ground, where it by chance may grow into a new patch of cholla.
