Pima Canyon

Pima Canyon is a significant canyon located in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona, USA. Pusch Ridge forms the northwestern cliffs of Pima Canyon, dramatically rising from Pima Creek on the canyon floor. Pima Canyon varies greatly in elevation, from 2,900 feet above sea level at Pima Creek to 7,255 feet at Mount Kimball, the canyon's highest peak.

The source of Pima Creek is located near the Pima Saddle at an elevation of 5,200 feet. The creek flows intermittently throughout the year, usually limited to six months annually after substantial rain or snow melt in the Santa Catalina Mountains.
