Sabino Canyon

The shuttle up ahead on it's way back down.

Cold!!!!!!!!!

Sabino Canyon is about a 25 minute drive from our home. Nestled in the canyons by Mt. Lemmon, it is a desert oasis and attracts many hikers and visitors both young and old. This was our first time there. We decided to go check it out since Rene was headed there on Wednesday with his unit and visitors who are coming in for a conference. I was amazed at how massive this hiking area is. There are so many trails, some up high, some down low. We opted to take the shuttle up to the top and then walk down since we were low on water supplies. The road to the top is a 4 mile trek, so it is a total of 8 miles if you stay on the road. There were waterfalls, water holes, and beautiful Sycamore trees and rocks along the way. We saw joggers, walkers and hikers. Today we were off buying our hiking shoes and can't wait to go back and tackle some of the trails. This is a perfect time of the year to hike and Tucson has so much to offer. You can bet this will be one sight we take our visitors to.
