Geocache Description:


TUCSON'S CITY LIMITS OLDEST ACTIVE CACHE

Sabino Canyon is one of Southern Arizona's natural treasures. Fed by the waters of Sabino Creek and sheltered by the canyon walls, the plants and animals that inhabit the canyon offer an interesting contrast to those found in the surrounding desert. The shade and cool water attract visitors year-round.

Sabino Canyon is located about 12 miles north-east of the University of Arizona campus and 11 miles north of Davis-Monthan Air Base. It is in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountain range. The Santa Catalinas are one of Southern Arizona's "sky islands," an isolated mountain chain rising from the desert floor. Mount Lemmon is the highest point in the Santa Catalinas, rising to an elevation of over 9,100 feet.

Sabino Canyon is located in the Coronado National Forest fee area. Click here for more information
