Sabino Dam Trail #33

A short wander up Sabino Creek to the low dam, winter pools, and broad stone shelves where the canyon opens to sky and water.

Sabino Dam Trail #33 stays close to the canyon floor — packed sand, worn rock, and easy creekside paths that feel different in every season. When winter flows are up, the spillway churns and the pools below the dam glow in soft desert light. Expect casual walking, a few shallow crossings when the creek is running, and plenty of spots to linger along the water.
