JEit’s crazy to me that no one talks about this hidden oasis to beat the heat in Arizona 🤯
located just 45 minutes from Tucson, Mt. Lemmon sits at over 9000 ft elevation. it’s roughly 30 degrees cooler than the valley, making it the perfect summer escape! it was in the 60’s when I went. you might want to bring a jacket!
SAVE this itinerary to help plan your next day trip in Arizona 💯
things to do:
-hike the Meadow Trail #5A. this easy 1.5 mile hike boasts lush ferns, pines, and incredible views. you can make it a loop by hiking the Mt. Lemmon Trail back to the trailhead. be sure to keep your eye out for the hidden spring on the Mt Lemmon trail. dog and family friendly.
-ride the scenic chairlift at Mt. Lemmon ski valley for amazing views see their website for more information and ticket prices @officialmtlemmonskivalley
-explore the quaint town of Summerhaven
-check out Rose Canyon Lake. this unique lake was built by prisoners in the 1960’s and is mainly used for fishing, day use and picnicking. swimming and boating are not permitted.
-stop at some of the vistas. windy point, seven cataracts and inspiration point are a few of my favorites.
