Sabino Canyon sits at the base of the Catalina Mountains on the north side of Tucson. In the spring months, there is ample water flow through the canyon. From the base you can ride a tram the 4 miles to the top. You can also walk it but as it would happen, Cami and Andi wanted to ride the tram – go figure. We rode to the top but walked all the way down. It was a warm day and very windy. We stopped in several places along the way to hike down to the water and play a bit. Beautiful place!
Tumacacori Mission. South of Tubac, AZ is the Tumacacori Mission founded by Father Kino and other Jesuits. When we lived in the Tucson area, we would spend Christmas eve at the mission. Volunteers line the walkways and walls with thousands of luminaries and people gather to sip hot cocoa and sing Christmas Carrols. The girls and I ventured down to learn more about the mission and of course, earn a junior ranger badge.
As our time in Tucson came to an end we were looking forward to finding some cool weather but we knew we would miss our new friends.
