The town at the very top of Mt Lemmon. The naked trees are the result of a forest fire that broke out in 2003 that had a lasting impact on the landscape. Notice the rain storm on the distant mountains. the elevation at this point was around 10,000 feet. Mid Summer temps might hit 75 degrees for a high. We had snow flurries on the day we were there in April.
Great lookout spot for a break on drive to top of my Lemmon.
We drove with our friends in their Polaris dune buggy from E Snyder Rd in Tucson right into the Catalina Mountains. The dirt roads are 4WD only. #adventure #adrenalfatigue #wildwest #Arizona #Merica

Room was amazing, as were the tennis and pickleball courts. Food at the resort was top tier, and I loved the “Mountain Course”. We had one terribly rude server, maybe she was just having a bad day….but the resort was still a 10 out of 10
