Top cyclists from around the world come here to train on one of the best tests of climbing and descending in the country. Take the drive slowly, especially in areas with tight switchbacks, to give cyclists plenty of room. Hiking & Mountain Biking At the base of the Santa Catalinas, hiking trails lead through the lush Sonoran Desert. As the elevation increases up the mountain, trails climb through rocky outcroppings and ultimately dense pine forests. On the Aspen Trail, a 4-mile loop accessed at the Marshall Gulch Picnic Area, enjoy a gentle climb with many scenic viewpoints. The Meadow Trail is just under two miles out and back from Ski Valley for a short and easy hike for families. Longer, quad-busting mountain biking trails include the swift and flowy Aspen Draw that ends in Summerhaven and the white-knuckle Kellog/Incinerator Ridge trails that navigate rocky terrain and tight switchbacks.

Visitors find crags to climb at elevations from 2,500 feet in the foothills to more than 9,000 feet at the highest summits, making this a year-round destination for traditional crack climbs, bolted sport climbs, and bouldering. Beginners can join an expedition with local outfitters, while experienced climbers can test their mettle on gravity-defying granite slabs. The pinnacles at Windy Point, located directly off Catalina Highway attracts onlookers who admire the climbers' skill and bravery Ski Valley Ski Valley, the southernmost ski resort in the continental U.S., is another of Arizona's best-kept secrets.

Summerhaven Information The Summerhaven subdivision of Mount Lemmon, Arizona, is a community approximately 29 miles north of Tucson in the center of the Santa Catalina Mountains at an elevation of 8000'. The peak of Mt. Lemmon (9,157') is located adjacent to the University of Arizona's Stewart Observatory. The average temperature on Mount Lemmon is approximately 30 degrees cooler than that of Tucson, which makes Mount Lemmon quite popular during the summer months. Additionally, the top of the mountain is 9,157' and is the location of the southernmost ski area in the United States. Mount Lemmon Ski Valley typically provides skiing and snowboarding from late December into March or April. The El Nino of 1997-98 brought 30-plus feet of snow to the mountain, one of the best years for skiing and snowboarding in recent memory. There are approximately 450 acres of privately owned land on Mount Lemmon, surrounded by the Coronado National Forest. The majority of the 450 acres of privately owned land is utilized for second homes and private residences. There are also approximately 130 cabins on land leased from the US Forest Service under 20-year permits. Commercial development is limited to the lots along Sabino Canyon Parkway. Currently, Summerhaven has The Sawmill Run, a new restaurant opened April 1, 2012. The Mt. Lemmon General Store & Gift Shop, provides anything a tourist, cabin owner, cabin renter or Arizona Trail biker or hiker may need or want. In addition, the General Store & Gift Shop offers a large selection of gifts, to groceries to camping gear. The Living Rainbow, a gift shop, is located down the street and the Pizza and Cookie Cabin, serving pizza, giant cookies and homemade chili operates in Summerhaven. A US Post Office and a real estate office, Mt. Lemmon Realty also resides in Summerhaven. Karen's Sky Mountain Realty operates out of Summerhaven but does not currently have an office here. Overnight lodging facilities are currently non-existent in Summerhaven and on Mt. Lemmon. Families wanting to stay on the mountain must rent a cabin from private individuals or Mt. Lemmon Realty in the summer months. All businesses here rely heavily on summer business. Mt. Lemmon, because of the limited overnight facilities and the close proximity to Tucson, is largely a day use area. However, in the summer months, there is a large population in private homes. After all, the subdivision was named Summerhaven for a reason back in the 1920s.
