Sabino Canyon is located in the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Coronado National Forest just north of Tucson.
The canyon is a popular recreation area for residents and visitors of Southern Arizona. Sabino Canyon offers a place to walk, hike or bike and is only minutes away from large waterfalls and small bridges constructed over them. The wildlife in the canyon includes deer, javelina, skunks, tortoise, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions. 
As you walk or hike in this vast area listening to the birds your breath is taken away by the beauty of the canyon.
There is even a study project going on in the canyon identifying the hummingbirds that migrate in (the real snowbirds).
What happens when a saguaro dies? Just like trees, saguaros die too. The fleshy parts of the saguaro decay or are eaten by animals and eventually the skeleton of the saguaro is all that remains.
