"Experience the beauty of one of the most unique Southwestern desert canyons on a Sabino Canyon tram ride. Sabino Canyon is a natural desert oasis located in Tucson’s Coronado National Forest and is home to spectacular desert landscapes and abundant wildlife.
During the winter and summer rainy seasons, pools of water form in rocky outcroppings that wind up among hillsides resplendent with palo verde trees, cholla and prickly pear cactus and graceful groves of ocotillo.
Sabino Canyon tours offers a narrated, educational 45-minute, 3.8 mile tour into the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains."

Take a short hike down the Yetman Trail out to the remains of the Bowen Stone House. The easiest access to the trailhead is to take Speedway Blvd West towards the Tucson Mountains. Take a left (South) a Camino De Oeste and follow the road about a half mile until it ends in the dirt parking lot of the trail head. Camino De Oeste quickly turns into a dirt road, but it is still easily accessible in a sedan.
The hike out to the stone house is only about 1.1 relatively flat miles from this trial head.

"The San Xavier Mission is located in Wa:k village of the San Xavier District of the Tohono O’odham Nation. This beautiful place was recognized as a US National Landmark in 1963.
Many people come to visit, to pray, to find a place of peace. A shrine church for many, it is still the parish church for the Native Americans of the area." -- Fr. Steve
