From the Phoneline Trail Sabino Canyon sounded like a raging river - as we descended we wondered if there was a chance that we wouldn't feel comfortable crossing - but down by the canyon the flow didn't seem as impressive and the crossing was fine - we enjoyed the cool knee deep water.

A glance at the USGS Guage for Sabino Canyon shows that we were lucky to see higher water levels - the storm fed flow peaked late on the 19th and quickly diminished.
