Ed E. • July 26, 2015Beautiful park. Lots of walking, a great pond with a waterfall, and a good playground.

The Ritz-Carlton • September 13, 2012Sabino Canyon is a dream for wilderness hikers and mountain bikers. There are plenty of creeks, cacti and critters to enjoy (particularly at night) as well trail tram rides every 30 minutes.

Antho • June 30, 2018Awesome hiking here. Lots of cool rocks to find

john b. • November 7, 2014Great place for a short hike and sack lunch. Sunset is gorgeous from here. Very quite, feels like your miles from the hustle and bustle!! LOVE IT!

Matthew B. • June 9, 2010Challenging hike! Great views of the city from the top. Paved road with switchbacks. It's a university research center, so there are restrictions on when it's open to the public.

Mike S. • November 1, 2015A wonderful desert oasis with amazing plants and views.

Kristin • April 15, 2014Hike to the maiden pools will take approximately 1.5 hours. Bring plenty of water and snacks to enjoy once you reach the top. Watch out for rattlesnakes. No dogs are permitted on the trail.

Nancy H. • June 6, 2015Perfect for active folks. Bike, hike, leashed dog walking, walking or running with a stroller. Do not enter the wash in the rainy season, and yes, critters live in and around the wash.

Carla T. • February 25, 2014Please keep your dogs on a leash! This is not a doggie park, but a great park to walk your dog.
