Although we had been aware for several years of the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson, we finally got a chance to visit last Saturday.
We were treated with a very nice sunset the evening before.
While many people hike on the many trails in Sabino Canyon, another way to see the canyon is on their new electric trams. You can ride the tram, get off at one of the tram stops and get back on another tram sometime later.
The canyon is an amazing place of rugged canyon walls and cacti.
There is also a stream running along the canyon bottom.
The Cottonwood Trees were just leafing out.
There was enough moisture for this Ocotillo to put out leaves. It will shed its leaves in drier conditions to minimize water loss.
We also saw a number of different wildflowers.
