Mount Lemmon - Rebuilding Summerhaven

A visit to Summerhaven is like short trip from the desert floor to a lush, regrowing, forest. The foothills of the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, AZ. begins the hour long journey to the top of the hill known as Mount Lemmon, Arizona and the village of Summerhaven, Arizona.

As the weather cools in the Tucson valley, it also cools at the top of the Santa Catalina mountains by 25-30 degree F.

If you plan to travel in the morning, it will be chillier when you get to the top at Summerhaven or the Ski Lift. Bring an extra sweater or jacket in case the temperatures drop.

Mt. Lemmon is also written as Mt. Lemon, Mount Lemmon, Mt Lemon and Mount Lemon. That has lead to some confusion to the correct spelling for Mt. lemmon. Frog Mountain is another name for the Summerhaven valley.
