Panning for Garnets (Note earlier time)


Event Details

  • Date: April 16, 2026 9:00 am – 11:00 am
  • Categories: Walks | Hikes | Demos

Satisfy your long-held desire to become a prospector! You’ll also learn some of the geology of Sabino Canyon and the Santa Catalina Mountains. Panning is fun for both kids and adults!

Depending on water conditions, we’ll meet near Rattlesnake trailhead on the main canyon road or at the bridge just above shuttle stop 3. To pan at the stream near shuttle stop 3, we need “Goldilocks conditions” — in other words, not too high and not too low. Check the online listing at sabinonaturalists.org on Thursday morning to know where we’ll be.

Also, on very chilly mornings, we may delay the start time, and if it’s very warm we may move it up. Again, to make sure where this activity is being held — and at what time — please check the online listing on Thursday morning.
