Individuals, families, and school groups visiting Sabino Canyon in Tucson, AZ are encouraged to use the interactive display in the Visitor's Center. This display provides current air temperature and flow rate conditions and uses animated graphics to explain the hydrology of the canyon. The interactive display is also available on-line.
