This 2 mile hike is very steep and sure to get your heart pumping, but the view is worth it and the exercise feels great. The walk is paved so you have more versatility in footwear. You may encounter deer or snakes on your walk up!

If you are trying to beat the heat in the summer or catch a little snow in the winter Mount Lemmon is the place to be. It is the southern most skiable place in North America! ( but do not take that as an endorsement of the slope)
