Soaring mountains, deep canyons, and the unique plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert found here. The wonders of the desert foothills and rocky gorges of the Santa Catalina Mountains are marvelous and accessible.
Sabino Canyon tram routes provide access to Sabino and Bear Canyons. Along the Sabino route riders are free to get off at one of the nine shuttle stops, do a little birding, have a picnic, or spend time along one of the many pools and cascades that grace Sabino Creek.
If riding the tram does not stir your sense of adventure, there are miles of hiking trails that wander throughout the area and lead deeper into the Santa Catalina backcountry.
