Sabino Canyon is a large canyon located north of Tucson in the Coronado National Forest and the Santa Catalina Mountains. Sabino Creek runs through the canyon, making it a popular place to experience a cooling reprieve from the desert and enjoy the pools and waterfalls.

From the parking area, guests can walk, bicycle, or take a tram to reach the Upper Sabino Canyon. The road through the canyon meanders alongside soaring mountains and across the creek via several bridges. The park is home to fascinating wildlife species, including deer, javelina, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, skunks, and tortoises.
