The Sabino Canyon is a beautiful canyon that was formed more than 12 million years ago. The magic happened with the forming of Santa Catalina Mountains. The Native American's Hohokams were the first occupants of the region. Plants that you see today at the canyon were first seen around 6 to 8 thousand years ago.

In the year 1887 a massive earthquake hit northern Mexico dislodging boulders that were lining the walls of the canyon. This then came and rested below in the valley. A dam and 9 bridges were built over the creek during the period of the Great Depression. This was done so that a road could be built to Mount Lemmon to the very top. The road never got completed as the terrain was very steep where the canyon ends although it did go for around 3 miles right into the canyon.

The beauty of this place can be experienced best when taking a tram ride. This natural desert oasis is in the heart of the Coronado National Forest in Tucson. Wildlife at it's very best along with he most amazing desert landscapes can be seen here. A narrated 45 minutes 3.8 mile tour is a complete learning experience and the non-narrated 2 mile tour to the 7 falls is divine.

Although the Sabino Canyon region is home to wildlife and is in a forest there are plenty of top class accommodation facilities, places to eat and entertain yourself very close to it. So get to the Sabino Canyon, see and experience nature at its best.

On average, the trams arrive every half an hour.

The Sabino Canyon tram route is well-paved and quite flat. Thus it can be easily navigated by hikers from the most experienced to the least. The Sabino Canyon tram route crosses over Sabino Creek through nine stone bridges. Some of the stones have been washed away by in severe weather. The grade ascends from 2,800 to 3,300 feet which is suitable for cycling as well. For hiking newbies and visitors of all ages, the main Sabino Canyon road is your top potion.

Sabino Canyon main road branches off into a variety of trails, which are more challenging than the main road. Most of the trails offer hikers access to solitude wilds and rare-seen views. Brief introductions of the three trails will be provided in the following part.

Blackett's Ridge Trail

When hiking up Blackett's Ridge Trail, you are likely to encounter with several steep switch-backs. It will pose some challenges to hiking newbies.

To access to Telephone Line Trail, you can get off at Sabino Canyon tram stop No. 9 and head down to stop No.1.

Hutch's Pools Trail

As the name indicates, Hutch's Pools Trail is popular when water is overflowing in Sabino Creek. Hutch's Pools Trail is quite difficult to conquer. The whole trail is about to take 6 to 8 hours to complete. Thus it is a nice option for intermediate or advanced hikers. Don't hit this road unless fully prepared!
