ABSTRACT This report provides an overview of the historic and current visitation, environmental and infrastructure conditions as Sabino Canyon Recreation area in the Coronado NF in Tucson, AZ. Transportation goals were defined and specific potential solutions were identified in the following categories: Access Management; Bicycle, Pedestrian and Equestrian; Communications; Infrastructure; Management; Motorized Solutions; School Groups. These specific potential solutions were then grouped and analyzed as alternative scenarios. The analysis was done to support the Sabino Canyon Recreation Concept Plan which is being done subsequent to this study; all NEPA compliance will be conducted as part of the Recreation Concept Plan. 15.

The recreation area is a popular retreat for local residents, schoolchildren on field trips, naturalists, and visitors from all over the world. Sabino Canyon contains one of only two perennial streams flowing into the Tucson Basin and a unique riparian environment, providing habitat for a massive number of plant and animal species. The environment, the plants and animals, and presence of virtually car‐less transportation infrastructure contribute to the popularity of the canyon among visitors. An estimated 520,000 people visit Sabino Canyon each year by private vehicle alone. An unknown number of additional people visit on foot or bicycle from nearby residential neighborhoods. Many factors contribute to the canyon’s popularity, shape visitor usage, and ultimately affect both the internal and external transportation systems. These key factors include environmental conditions, the presence and condition of transportation infrastructure, and conflicts between different user groups and stakeholders. Growing pressure on the Sabino Canyon transportation system, especially after a damaging flood in 2006, led the Coronado National Forest to apply to the federal Transit in the Parks (TRIP) program for funds to conduct a comprehensive study that would analyze existing conditions and formulate several alternatives that could be considered for the future. This report, produced by the U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe Center, is the final result of that study. However, this report is not considered a “decision document” and was not intended to fulfill the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act or other U.S. Forest Service (USFS) compliance requirements; it is a feasibility study that does not recommend a “preferred alternative.” Environmental conditions Sabino Canyon is home to riparian habitats that are sustained by Sabino Creek. Relatively rare in desert areas, these habitats provide food and shelter to plant and animal species. Sabino Canyon is officially recognized as a critical habitat for the Gila chub, a species of fish that is federally protected by the Endangered Species Act. Dry, warm desert conditions contribute to the popularity of Sabino Canyon and the entire Tucson area. Average daily temperatures allow for outdoor activity year‐round, predominantly during the day in the winter and during early morning or evening hours in the summer. The watershed supplying Sabino Creek covers 35.5 square miles in the Santa Catalina Mountains and draws visitors year‐round. As USFS staff stated, “People come to where the water is.” But over the last 75 years, there has been a trend of weaker continuous flow in Sabino Creek

Copper Pamphlet produced by Tucson Chamber of Commerce, SAGU257, Box 1, Folder 11, WACC. “In a canon near the deserted mission of Cocospera, Cereus giganteus was first met with. The first specimen brought the whole party to a halt. Standing alone upon a rocky projection, it rose in a single unbranched column to the height of some thirty feet, and formed a sight which seemed almost worth the journey to behold. Advancing into the canon, specimens became more numerous, until at length the whole vegetation was, in places, made up of this and other Cacaceae. Description can convey no adequate idea of this singular vegetation, at once so grand and dreary. The Opuntia arborescens and Cereus Thurberi, which had before been regarded with wonder, now seemed insignificant in comparison with the giant Cactus which towered far above.” George Thurber, 1855, Boundary Commission Report.1 Table of Contents 1 Asa Gray, ―Plantae Novae Thurberianae: The Characters of Some New Genera and Species of Plants in a Collection Made by George Thurber, Esq., of the Late Mexican Boundary ii List of Illustrations v List of Maps ix Introduction Crowning the Queen of the Desert 1 The Question of Social Value and Intrinsically Valuable Landscapes Two Districts with a Shared History Chapter 1 Uncertain Pathways to a Saguaro National Monument, 1912-1933 9 Saguaros and the Sonoran Desert A Forest of Saguaros Discovering

  • 5. Land Use This Section Examines Land Ownership and Use Within the Six Counties Surrounding the Coronado National Forest (CNF)
    5. Land use This section examines land ownership and use within the six counties surrounding the Coronado National Forest (CNF). Land ownership and use are both variables which can significantly influence interaction between forests and surrounding communities. Regional development patterns and major land use vary from county to county, reflecting differences in climate, topography, ownership, and other cultural, social, and economic trends. Individual counties must attend to a range of land use issues including, but not limited to, water quality and availability, logging and mining activity, agricultural and recreational lands, access to state and federal land, transition of rangelands, open space preservation, and residential sprawl (Northern Economics 2002). Collected land use and ownership data reveal that the area of assessment for the CNF contains a relatively high percentage of private and State Trust land, both of which stand to have a considerable impact on future forest planning. Santa Cruz County is also notable for the amount of land managed by the USDA Forest Service (52.7%). Each of these factors contributes to a land use policy environment that is increasingly focused on the sustainability of urban development in the face of increasing calls for the preservation of open space. The proximity of private parcels and forest lands has also contributed to a number of significant land exchanges involving the CNF within the last twenty years. 5.1 Historical context and land use patterns Since the federal government first began designating public-trust land in the late nineteenth century, the amount of national forest land in Arizona has remained remarkably steady.

  • Tucson and Sabino Canyon for Many Years My Business Travel Took Me to Tucson, Arizona
    Tucson and Sabino Canyon For many years my business travel took me to Tucson, Arizona. One of my favorite places in Tucson was to visit when time permitted the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. The canyon provides an opportunity to hike, picnic or just enjoy the desert scenery. Tucson and Sabino Canyon both have had an interesting historical background. Archaeologists tell us that 12,000 years ago American Indians lived in the Tucson area in the Santa Cruz River Valley. The Hohokam Indians lived there for over 1,000 years beginning in 450AD. They inhabited the Northern Mexico to Central Arizona area. Hohokams used irrigation methods to produce agricultural goods, however their disappearance may have been caused by a lack of food and a change in weather patterns that included both droughts and flooding. <southernarizonaguide.com> Spanish explorers such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Fray Marcos de Niza, and Francisco Vásquez de Coronado came to Arizona during the 16th century. Some were looking for gold as they traveled from Mexico City. The Zuni Indians were living in the region. <southernarizonaguide.com> During the 17th century, missionaries such as Jesuit Father Eusebio Francisco Kino interacted with the Pima Indians. The Pima Indians had a well‐developed irrigated settlement that they called T'Shuk‐sohn (how Tucson got its name). It meant "Place at the Base of Black Mountain" (later known as Sentinel Peak and now “A” Mountain) which was created by University of Arizona students in 1905 (founded 1885). <southernarizonaguide.com> <cals.arizona.edu> The 18th century was beset with Indian revolts.
