The drive up to the top of Mount Lemmon is long and scenic. There are lots of scenic viewpoints to stop and get out of the car. The drive is windy, so be prepared if you get car sick at all. Was able to go up the radio towers at the top (past the ski hill) at an elevation of... More

Really neat drive to the top. Just watch out for the cyclists. They are at every turn and sometimes in the middle of the road. The views are fantastic. Mt. Lemmon is well worth the drive if you like breathtaking views and hiking. More

was staying in Chandler Az for a while and journeyed south to Tuscon and rode Mount Lemmon up to Gate's Pass. Lots of bicyclists and tremedous workout.

I would strongly recommend the drive to anyone. Stop and climb on the rocks, walk some of the trails,... More

When temperatures rise over 100 degrees you do not have to camp in... More
