 The height of Tucson's scenic landscape |
Catalina Highway Tucson, AZ 85619 United States +1 520 624 1817 (Convention & Visitors Bureau) |
See Tucson from a birds-eye view. Take Catalina Highway 30 miles through the Coronado National Forest, where giant Saguaro cacti tower and a variety of desert vegetation blooms year around. Stop at the Seven Cataracts and Windy Pointe Vista for scenic views of untamed mountain landscape surrounding the distant lights of Tucson. Visit Ski Valley. The lift operates year-round offering visitors a ride to the sky. Follow signs to Summerhaven, and browse the rustic shops or book a cozy Mount Lemmon cabin. Make a day of it!

Ski-lift rides, summer and winter |
10300 Ski Run Road (Mount Lemmon) Tucson, AZ 85619 United States +1 520 576 1321 |
The ski lifts on Mount Lemmon in the Catalina's north of Tucson are open all year; serious business in the winter, fun in the summer. In recent winters, snowfall has been erratic leading to permanent complaints from business owners on the mountain, but the Ski Valley and the adjacent little town of Summerhaven is always a nice getaway from the hot and harsh desert climate.

 Miles of hiking trails |
Mount Lemmon Highway (Coronado National Forest) Tucson, AZ 85619 United States |
Enjoy cool air and mountain scenery at this ragged mountain range north of the city. Crowned by 9,157-foot Mount Lemmon, the range dominates the Tucson basin and offers 150 miles of hiking trails of varying difficulty. The drive up passes cliffs and canyons, lined with saguaro cactus, through pinions and junipers, to cool pine forests and lakes near the top. Some campgrounds charge a fee for overnight stays. Take Tanque Verde Road east to Catalina Highway (Mount Lemmon Highway). Review © 2007, Wcities |
