TUCSON, Ariz. - At the northeast edge of Tucson, along Sabino creek, lies Tucson's worst hidden secret. Sabino Canyon is the premier place to workout, picnic, or just take in mother nature at its finest.
Sabino is believed to have formed some 12 million years ago, and an earthquake in 1887 dislodged massive boulders lining the canyon walls, which crashed down in the valley below.
Sabino Canyon is one of those places Arizonans like to take out-of-state visitors to.
Why?
Because it is the perfect example that shows the desert can still be just as beautiful as a forest of pine or rolling hills or plains.
Arizona has mountains and big clear, blue skies, and for that, and places like Sabino Canyon, we should be proud and even grateful.
