Hiking the Sabino Canyon Trail to the West Fork Trail on our way to Hutch’s Pool — Panorama by kenne
The hike to Hutch’s Pool from the Sabino Canyon Visitor Center would be a 16 mile hike, so we take the Sabino Canyon Shuttle to Stop 9, which cuts the hike distance in half. The hike involves taking the Sabino Canyon trail to the West Fork trail in the Wilderness area of the Santa Catalina Mountains where we find beautiful mountain vistas, and this time of year plenty of fall colors along the West Fork Trail.
