Sabino Canyon

Another hike with Leah. This time we drove to the Tucson area and hiked Phoneline Trail at Sabino Canyon.

We took the trolley up to the last stop to get to the trailhead. From there it was a steep incline of switchbacks to get onto the main part of the trail which follows the edge of the canyon. At some points there was a steep drop off on the side. Yikes!!



On the trolley that goes up the canyon.

The river in the canyon carries water from Mt. Lemmon.
Right now the water is snow melt so is very cold!

Rock like a saddle is a good stop for a quick break!
As you can see we are pretty high up!!

A clump of aloes with their long seed stocks make for interesting vegetation along the hike.

Cute hat, but heavy?!

Rock chair.

Now to cross the water!

Nice jump!
No wet feet this time.
