Mt. Lemmon Drop Shuttle Drop-Off

Highlight • MTB Park

If you are looking to do the Mt. Lemmon Drop I highly recommend shuttling up here with Home Grown MTB Tours. They can also help you understand the conditions of the trails depending on the season.

Mount Lemmon climb summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Mount Lemmon's varied climates makes it one of the most scenic climbs in North America. Be warned though, any ascent will have to take place early in the morning as temperatures often sore to above 50 degrees during the day.

Meadow Trail, Coronado National Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Flat, so relatively easy trail near Mount Lemmon. It's about 1 mile in length and it leads you to "The Ravens"-rock formation and beautiful views over Tucson. I'd say it's one of the easiest trails in the area with an incredible reward (the view) at the end.

The Ravens

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rock outcropping known as The Ravens has quite a few established rock climbing routes (mountainproject.com/area/105838611/the-ravens). Even if you don't plan to climb, it's a nice hike down from the summit parking area, with stunning views to the south overlooking Tucson.
