If you live in the Tucson area and have never been to Sabino Canyon, you are missing out! Dave had last Friday off and Ellie was wrapping up spring break, so we decided to head up there with the kids and a picnic. We had a pretty big group with our family, another family, and a couple of Ellie's friends. We had to circle the parking lot a few times because it is a pretty popular spot with hikers and outdoor types, but it all worked out and we had such a great time. When you get there you can either hike or for a few dollars take a tram to the top- we all voted for the tram. We had so many kids and so much stuff! The tram goes up the canyon which is green and beautiful with a mountain stream all the way up twisting back and forth across the road. We rode all the way to the top then got off on the way back down to eat lunch and let the kids play in the water. I had brought nets and the kids were actually catching little fish in the stream. The kids played for hours with their buckets, pails, and nets, the adults relaxed in the sun, and the weather was perfect. We will definitely go again some time!
