driving to Sabino and parking there, okay, now I understand the $8.
(Tip: Park in the Walgreen's lot at the corner of Sabino Canyon Road and East Snyder Road. It's free, and you'll only add 2 miles total to your round trip up to the top of the canyon and back.)
And yeah, I just renewed my $80 annual park pass for unlimited access to Saguaro East ...although tbh the last ~6 times I rode there the guardhouse was empty 4 or 5 of them
a previous post of mine re: sabino canyon, blabbed about a bleep ton of road construction in the area currently. east snyder is below all that construction and directly enroute to the start.
maybe there's a workaround to/on the upper west of the sabino canyon entrance.
only been fortunate enuff to ride snp-east twice...last week and on super bowl sunday in 2019 around 7:30am. no guard on that super bowl sunday but there was this time around 10:15am
on a tuesday.
i'm always there (once a year in winter/spring) with the lady for the big gem/mineral fair(e). i get the mornings to ride but gotta have my butt back and showered and ready to leave by 11:45am
to hit crystal city and go shopping. would like to do the entire "loop" or mt. lemmon (again) or mt. graham (bit of a drive) but my rides in tucson tend to be 35 miles or less.
if we hit it again next year (likely), focusing on hitting madera canyon and kitt peak. did come across an awesome cocktail bar this visit:
