COMMENTS:
No pets, no bicycles, horses permitted but rarely encountered. Large parking lot
fills by mid-morning on spring weekends—if you park on the road outside, you risk a ticket.
(However, if you drive 0.2 mile north on Sabino Canyon Road, past the No Parking signs, you can
park and walk back.)
