Guidebook for Tucson
Parks & Nature
With soaring mountains, deep canyons, and the unique plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert you are sure to find Sabino Canyon a favorite place to visit.
Sabino Canyon tram routes provide access to Sabino and Bear Canyons. Along both routes riders are free to get off at one of the several shuttle stops, do a little birding, have a picnic, or spend time along one of the many pools and cascades that grace Sabino Creek. For those who just want a refresher course on its wonders, the nature trail at the visitor center offers plenty of wildlife and trailside interpretive information.
If riding the tram does not stir your sense of adventure, there are miles of hiking trails that wander throughout the area and lead deeper into the Santa Catalina backcountry.
