Sabino Canyon Dam / mini hike

*kid friendly but not strollers. You are officially invited to the legendary trek to the Sabino Canyon Dam—where the views are gorgeous, the water is refreshing, and everyone pretends the uphill walk is "not that bad." To be honest though, this is a mini hike good for beginners. It's a little less than a mile each direction. Parking at the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area is $8 per car.... unless you have the "America the Beautiful pass" then it's free. Flashlights are optional if you have them. I know we all have flashlights on our phones. It might get a little dark on the walk back depending how long we stay at the dam. Hiking Risk Disclaimer: Hiking involves inherent risks, including uneven terrain, falls, weather, wildlife, and the possibility of sore muscles.
