North Control Road connects Mt. Lemmon to Old Mt. Lemmon Road. This is an incredible back-country dirt road that weaves beautifully through the Santa Catalina Mountains. The North Control Road specifically has fantastic switchbacks.

Riding the dirt backside of Mount Lemmon is a local's favorite. It is often closed to vehicles and feels vey remote. It gets really steep at the top-- best on a mountain bike, but manageable on a gravel bike too.
