For every 1000ft you climb up the mountain it’s like climbing 10 degrees latitude northward. So at the base, you are at the Mexican boarder. And, by the time you reach the top, you are at the Canadian boarder! Amazing hikes, views and camping!

My favorite place to get coffee! When I first moved to town, many places didn’t take debit cards. I went through the drive thru and didn’t have cash or know of their policy. I apologized and they said “it’s ok! We can give you an IOU.” They still do IOUs! And make the best drinks!

This trail — Aspen Loop/Marshall Gulch — is at the end of the road, past Summerhaven, on Mt Lemmon. It’s a moderate hike that will take you by a spring fed creek and is a beautiful place to see flowers and butterflies in the spring!
