Sabino Canyon is an oasis just outside the city of Tucson. It is part of the Coronado National Forest. Visitors can take a short tram ride to the top of the canyon, stopping at one or more of the tram stops along the way. Many people then hike back down the canyon past waterfalls, swimming holes and picnic areas. |
