Sabino Canyon in Tucson

We have gone here several times before. When you weigh 100 lbs. more than you should, that trip amounts to a ride up the hill on the tram, and maybe a short walk down the hill from one stop to the next. Not this time! We rode up and then walked all the way back! 3.8 miles total. It took us a couple of hours to complete. This place is busy and sometimes the hardest part is finding a parking spot. It is worth it though. Especially if you are limited physically. Take water whether you are riding or not. Pack it in, cause they see you com in'! We bought sushi and after we bought our tram tickets, we sat under the shade awning eating sushi, and waiting for our ride. This is an absolutely beautiful walk with lots to look at, and lots to talk about. The trail winds back and forth over a creek. People stop and picnic, and stick their toes in the water all along the way. The last little bit of the walk has a hill they call Dead Man's Hill. Don't believe it. If I can make that hike with my boys trailing along behind (and complaining all the way) you can too! We rate this one 4. I have to say that I work out several days a week, and for some reason (probably the steep down hill), I was sore for several days after. No one else had trouble though, so maybe I'm just the whiner this time!
