Mt. Lemmon Adventure

Spectacular views of Tucson from mid-point

Gorgeous homes along the way

Pushing your body to the limit. Every October they host a marathon and 1/2 marathon all the way to the top. It is one of the steepest runs around.

Wall climbing

Today we decided to check out Mt. Lemmon and the small village of Summerhaven which sits on the summit. This mountain is 9,157 feet above sea level and is home to Tucson's closest ski area called Sky Valley. The drive takes about 60 minutes, and it is just a gorgeous windy, scenic drive all the way to the top. The mountain is busy with visitors, cyclist, hikers, and campers who drive up to ride the sky lift during summer days, visit the observatory, hike and camp. We enjoyed the delicious fudge we bought at the gift shop. The temperature and the views were amazing. We look forward to taking another drive up for a ski adventure. Warning! Be careful with bears.........................
