sabino canyon

我们坐电车一直坐到这个路段的终点然后又坐火车回来,同样是平行的2条线。当火车刚开始爬坡上行的时候你会感觉心脏在蹦蹦的跳,不过到了平缓路段就非常轻松舒适了。非常享受的一段路途。

每个小时初,会有穿梭巴士进入峡谷,然后离开游客中心,很准时的,所以记得计划好你去的时间,在心里记得点。一路乘电车过去,回来的时候全程或半程徒步。

我觉得我们很明智地从三号停靠站下车,然后剩余的路程步行。我们本想在山顶多呆一会儿,但是导游催促着我们很快就下山了。

我们坐电车到第九站下车了,然后往下走。花时间走下去,边走路边看风景,比坐在每小时15英里的电车上要好得多。要走上4英里,但是我建议你从1站台坐回去,因为最后的一英里步行真的很辛苦。三英里的距离里有9个站台,最后两个站台之间有整整1英里的距离。可以喝喝水,停下来歇歇。还可以坐在长凳上欣赏水池。

这非常漂亮,对所有人开放。我们坐摆渡车来到这,发现周边还有一个非常可爱的小河。我们将脚趾深入河水里去嬉戏玩耍,我们还远眺大峡谷。我们在河边打水花破水浪真是相当欢乐!我有三个孩子,他们都非常喜欢这里!玩的超级开心!我也跟着他们一样开怀大笑!我感觉种类非常适合带着孩子们来游玩,你可以在这呆上2小时也可以呆上整整一天!

It was a gorgeous cool sunny day in late January. Our work meeting ended early after several days of hard brain labor. We were in need of that sunshine and some exercise. Sabino Canyon provides easy access to several desert hikes, ranging from a loop trail for 15 min to half day journeys, from easy to difficult. We chose the Seven Falls Trail for the prize at the end (beautiful falls this time of year, before the summer and dessert conditions crank down the faucet). It offered a decent length, much along a creek with multiple creek crossings along the way. The elevation is allows for a relatively gentle climb much of the way, though does get steeper closers to the falls. The trail starts on a gravel road, then settles into typical southwest rocky/ crumbly terrain. Staying on the trail is also important to better dodge the cacti along the say. Try to get your fill of that majestic Saguaro cactus (can you really?), with plenty of other desert vegetation and wildlife. We spotted many birds, including a road runner and many quail, but nothing large enough to get the heart racing. You finally reach the falls after some switch backs and there is rooms for relaxing, photo-ops and dipping a toe in the clear water. There is ample parking at the visitors center with maps, info, bathrooms and shopping (if you desire). If staying nearby, without a car, make sure you arrange for your cab to pick you up at the end of your day. Hiking in this late January cool sunny day was just right. There is also a shuttle van, which seemed quite popular, indicating a 45 minute narrated tour (fee for this) of the area. Bring water of course and remember it gets really dark and cools off fast once the sun goes down in the desert, so time yourself well.

So much pretty scenery, so many hiking trails. We could tell this is a go-to place for lots of Tucsonans. We enjoyed hiking in the park several mornings. Go early - lots of folks love this place to hike.

We arrived early to see the Visitor Center and purchase tickets for the first Tram of the morning at 9:00. The tram driver narrated the drive up the Canyon, pointing out rock formations, various trees and plants, including the Saguaros, and showing us 'the best beach in Arizona' along the water. We rode the Tram to the end and walked on the return, intending to take some of the trails. The map in the Visitor Center showed many trails that were hard to find out on the road which was a bit frustrating but we did find a few. Walking the road provided lots of great photo ops too so it wasn't a loss. Many of the shuttle stops have restroom facilities. A stand near the parking lot has drinks and snacks. Definitely worth a day!

Was relatively inexpensive and informative. Also provided opportunities for hiking in the area. Apparently pretty busy and crowded on weekends and earlier in the day on weekdays.

Spent an afternoon walking the trails and doing photography.Close to Tucson proper, Sabino Canyon offers a retreat and opportunity for fresh air and exercise.Multiple walking trails of varying length and degree of difficulty. If you are not into/able to walk long distances there is a shuttle available for $9 that will take you to the top and has multiple stops in between. You can do on/off for one price.We were there on a Wednesday afternoon and the parking lot was about three-quarters full. As part of the National Forest, Sabino Canyon requires a $5/day fee for parking. If you have a National Park pass, you can use it and just place the pass on your dashboard.We could have spent an entire day there. Located in the eastern foothills of the Santa Catalina mountain range, Sabino Canyon offers an inexpensive activity for the entire family.

We arrived on a busy, sunny Sunday morning to a packed parking lot, many cars, including ours, circling the lot pointlessly. Finally I asked a very nice ranger about alternate parking and she tipped us off to use the local elementary school parking lot across the street. (This is allowed since it wasn't a school day but is posted no parking.) After a big hike the day before we were looking forward to a scenic tram ride up the mountain and a moderate hike around the canyon. Unfortunately, our only options were the strenuous Telephone Line trail (5+ miles) or walking straight down the asphalt roadway which is the option we took. There are 9 stops on the tram ride where you can get off but no real trails marked, just a few steps to the river to poke around. We did hike the cut-through trail between the main road and the Telephone Line trail in a few places. This was great and I would recommend it. It was a moderate hike with a great view and about 45 minutes round trip. I just wish there was more information about possible hiking options so we could have made the most of our time there. Scenery was gorgeous and I saw a gila monster!

A tram will take you into the Canyon and visitors can hop on and off for an $8 fee. We went to the top and hiked down the Phone Line Trail. Good introduction to Tucson for first timers.

Sabino Canyon is one of the most beautiful places to witness the desert up close. There are many hikes that will take you to some of the most beautiful scenery in Tucson. For those who can't walk, there is a tram that will take you through some of the same scenery. There is always something new and enjoyable to see here!!

Took the tram though the canyon, could not believe we were in the desert. Water (streams) all through the canyon, Early settlers must have loved finding this spot. For those more daring, there are a lot of hiking trails and plenty of people hiking them.

We love to visit this park as it is beautiful and a real gem right outside of Tucson. We visited there this Wednesday March 11th, and there were no parking sites available. The busiest we have ever seen it. After driving around for a long time we opted to park over a crossed out area. We were not blocking traffic at all. We realized this could result in a fine. However we discovered that the fine for doing so will cost you $75! The people next to us who were visiting from out of state were shocked and said they wouldn't come back. Hopefully they will add parking spaces in the future but be aware of the exorbitant fine you could get.
