Santa Catalina Natural Area

Such a beautiful area. Loved seeing the waterfall. The beautiful flowers trees and rocks. My friend and I did some light hiking and went up to ski lift.

Fantastic place for the whole family to visit. So many hiking trails and views for days! Definitely worth the trip.

I really enjoyed coming up here. First time coming up here and it was beautiful. Went for a run from the ski area to the top and will be coming back up here more.

This is a special sacred place for me. You can feel God's presence and see his beautiful creation.

Beautiful place for backpacking and camping. I have nothing but good things to say. Arizona has a lot of great hiking but the Santa Catalina area is by far my favorite. It has a little something for everyone.

The drive up is awesome! It's about an hour from Tucson, and it's so cool that you can go from desert to mountains fairly quickly. Especially if you want to get away from the heat for a bit. There are lots of trails, lots of views along the way if you don't want to go all the way to Sunnyvale. But, the general store has some legendary fudge. And it gets more mountainy and less crowded the further up you go. Worth at least a try.

It was quite a ride up to Summerhaven the town at the top of Mt. Lemmon! Gorgeous! It goes from Saguharo cactus to tall pines! The views are breathtaking! There are several hiking paths and day and over night camping areas. So beautiful the road is windy so be prepared, it took us about an hour and 20 minutes one way. But it's well worth it it's gorgeous! Summerhaven has eateries, like Iron Door, gift shops, a Post Office and cabins. It's good to patronise these places as they survived a wildfire in 2020.

Wilderness of Rocks Trail is One of the best spots atop Mount Lemmon. Awesome views, and fairly moderate terrain make for a good hike.
