Great for a sunset drive or pulling over to look out at all of the beautiful saguaro.
There are a good amount of spots to pull over and hike around at. Bring some snacks and have a picnic while the sun goes down.

Hiking / Outdoors
Mount Lemmon is a great escape for us in the summer when the temperatures get too hot. With a summit elevation of 9,159 feet, is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains.
Great for hiking, climbing, picnicking, or even just driving up and stopping out at the pullouts to take in the views, Lemmon is great to explore.

Tumamoc Hill is a great local hike up a steep paved road that overlooks the city. Since it is paved it is also fun to come here at night to see the city lights or pick a day when there is a full moon.
It is really close to the house, is a good workout, and will not eat up an entire day.

A great little out door area with a bunch of cute shops, a bar, and some restaurants. There is a nice outdoor courtyard for seat that has a ton of plants and usually some live music playing on their small stage.
