Place to see: Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Tucson, Arizona, United States
Desert Morning
Many people were up early to enjoy the cool desert morning when I visited he Sabino Canyon Recreation Area in March. The Brittlebush were in full bloom and the saguaro cactus were swollen from winter rains.
About this place:
Sabino Canyon Recreation Area starts in the north east corner of Tucson Arizona and climbs up the mountains of the Coronado National Forest. Parking is $5/vehicle There is a tram that provides ride up the canyons. ($7.50/adults, $3/children 3–12).
Some Sabino Canyon trails are paved and some are well worn dirt paths through the cactus. A stream surges down the canyon and provides seasonal swimming holes.
I discovered this park on the http://www.visittucson.org/ when I was planning a trip to visit the University of Arizona. It is a very good resource.
