Sabino Canyon Road

Trail Characteristics

Bridges along the trail are flat, wide, paved with asphalt and cement, with rock curbs.

Six restrooms along the trail are accessible with ramps and railings.

Several coarse gratings cross the road for water drainage.

Hikers share the trail with cyclists in the morning and evening.

The road is steep (7% grade) near stops 9 and 1, but flat (1-3% grade) in between.

The nine historic bridges often have no railings and have precipitous drop-offs.

Hikers wade through ankle-deep water flowing over a bridge after a storm.

A dirt trail parallels the road for much of the hike with a 1” lip between surfaces.

A metal plaque honors the Work Project Administration Project in 1936.
