    There are a lot of great, obscure trails. The most popular is Marshal at the very top past the general store, there's a creek and it's gorgeous. There's some semi-decent beginner rock climbing too.

    The Catalina Mountains are beautiful, and Mt. Lemmon has great camping, hiking, and a lake if you like to fish. Winter time means great skiing/snowboarding. Bears usually aren't around so it's safe.

    Great ride up Mt. Lemmon... Lots of bikers and many beautiful views of Tucson and the mountain. Stopped for pie at The Iron Cafe @ Ski Valley.

    Mount Lemmon is cool. No really cool. It can be 30°F cooler than Marana so it’s a great place to beat the heat. And shop. Summerhaven’s historic store is popular with most credit cards.

    A silence and serenity you can't find anywhere else.Take the trails, do a little climbing off the sides of the trails. The view is totally worth all the effort, plus you get a great workout!

    A great way to spend an afternoon! Experience all climates as you take this leisurely drive. Places to stop and take photos along the way, too!
