Sabino Creek Trail #52A

A short, creekside wander that leaves the tram road and slips into the cool cottonwoods and boulders along lower Sabino Creek.

Sabino Creek Trail #52A trades big ridge exposure for water, shade, and canyon sound. Expect uneven rock, seasonal crossings, and stretches of sand as you follow the creek upstream and back. It’s a small detour in miles, but a full reset in mood — especially on hot afternoons when the canyon floor bakes.
