Rattlesnake Trail #50

A short, rocky spur that slips away from the main Sabino corridor and winds through low desert benches, boulders, and cholla toward the mouth of Rattlesnake Canyon.

Rattlesnake Trail #50 is all about texture: granite ledges, sandy pockets, and tight turns through saguaro and prickly pear. It’s quick but engaging, with enough rock and mild exposure to keep you honest on the way out and back. A good shake-out hike or add-on loop when the canyon is running warm and bright.
