The sights of the mountans was breath taking. I took the tram to top the of the mountain and walked down. The walk was easy and it only took about an hour. Durring the walk I was able to stop and devote more time to taking photos.

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Unexpected oasis in the desert.Take the tram and hop on hop off for viewing or hiking. The driver was an excellent guide relating history and interesting facts. Well worth the trip.

This is a lovely place. I have ridden the tram, walked the trails, just sat and enjoyed the landscape, song of the birds and enjoyed nature at its best. Always take visitors here.

I always take house guests/visitors there. It's a great cardio workout. For those who can't handle the elevation change going up, tram up and walk down or taking the tram round trip is an option. .Scenery is always wonderful regardless of the season. My favorite is the springtime when water is running over the bridges.

Just a quick tip fee for parking in addition to the tram ride into the Canyon. 9 stops that allow you to get out and walk the various paths or you can ride all the way to the last stop and back to the man entrance in one trip. Tram trip is narrated by the driver and provides stories into... More

Entrance fee of &5/vehicle but Golden Age Passport is accepted. Senior rate, $8/per, ride in a covered open-sided vehicle, 1+30 narrated tour up canyon & back. Very restful. Lots of pottys if needed, get off/back on if you want to visit or walk trails. Visitor center tells the geology/history plus a great gift shop.A must for the Tucson visit.

If you're aiming for a good hike close-in to Tucson, then Sabino has plenty to offer -- many trails that take you away from the crowd scene on the canyon floor. You can hike on whatever level trail you desire and go for miles without seeing anyone. Don't despair when you enter the crowded pay parking lot. Most of the... More
