The iconic Sabino hike: a string of desert waterfalls and swimming pools, at their best in the weeks after winter or monsoon rain.
A steep, exposed climb to a ridgeline with big views over Sabino Canyon and the city. No shade, so start early.
The easy streamside introduction to the canyon along the tram road, good for a first visit or a golden-hour stroll.
A varied lower-canyon loop: out along the walkway, short climbs on the Esperero Trail, then down Rattlesnake to the creek and Sabino Lake behind the old dam. Water crossings can run wide after rain.
The classic canyon traverse: climb the Phoneline Trail along the canyon wall above the tram road, with the road as the return leg. Riding the tram one way roughly halves the day.
A long walk deep into the canyon to a perennial swimming hole. The most popular backpacking destination in Sabino.
