Sabino Canyon Tram Stop #9

This ARRA project reconstructed the last tram stop on the Sabino Canyon paved trail/roadway that ushers thousands of tourists and locals alike up the 3.7 mile path. Due to massive flooding, washouts and rockslides several years ago, much of the route was blocked by rubble and debris and was unsafe for passage.

Now with new drainage and retention systems, there are seatwalls, benches and shade trees to welcome visitors at the top of the canyon. Strictly native plantings indigenous to the Sabino Canyon area were used and a temporary irrigation system fed by a 1,000 gallon water tank will water the plants until they are established.
