Mount Lemmon

Beating out over 9,000 feet, Mount Lemmon is the high purpose of the Santa Catalina Mountains, which overshadow Tucson toward the north and east. You have to invest days on the inclines of Mount Lemmon to get a genuine feeling of the place, yet in the event that you don't have that long, complete an up-and-back drive along the dazzling Catalina Highway Mount Lemmon Highway.Reliably 20 degrees cooler than Tucson, the elevated town of Summerhaven is suitably named, and the neighborhood general store is justified regardless of a brisk stop. In the event that you have time, look at Butterfly Peak Natural Area, only east of Mount Lemmon. Mount Lemmon Ski Valley is the southernmost operational ski zone in the mainland U.S., however snowfall has been sporadic as of late and summer rapidly spreading fires routinely undermine the territory.
