Take a guided walk to observe lots of lizards in Sabino Canyon, Arizona, beginning this Saturday
Sabino Canyon is a place of colorful cliffs, colossal cacti, lush streamside scenery and, you might have noticed, lizards - lots and lots of lizards.
To highlight that reptilian resource, managers of the canyon northeast of Tucson will offer monthly guided lizard walks beginning Saturday.
The free walks depart from the canyon visitor center at 8 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month. The final walk of the season will be on Oct. 1.
