Sabino Canyon

On the Northwest side of Tucson, Arizona, is an area named Sabino Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains. The canyon is billed as the "most camera worthy scenery in the Tucson area". Today we rode the shuttle bus up through the canyon to check it out. The bus had an open top allowing full view of the scenery, and it did not disappoint.

Carole's friend Nancy Westgate and her husband, Larry, were visiting from Michigan and accompanied us on the tour of Sabino Canyon. Nancy and Carole are shown here seated in the open-top tram at one of the many stops.

The Canyon is very scenic with some interesting rock formations and, of course, lots of Saguaro cactus growing here in the desert.

Even in the desert, a stream runs down through the canyon. Some places it's rather tranquil . . .

and some places it's flowing rapidly.

But whether it's the rock formations, the desert vegetation, or the stream; the Sabino Canyon is a very scenic area near Tucson and well worth the tram trip or a hike up through the canyon.
