Mt. Lemmon is the tallest mountain in the Santa Catalina Mountain range to the north of Tucson. The summit of the mountain is about 9200 ft, at the top you will be nearly 7000 ft above the city! The road is fully paved to the top but sometimes requires chains/4WD because of ice or snow during this time of year. If the weather is right we highly recommend it for an afternoon hike or just to see the scenery!
This is a really amazing collection of airplanes. It is fully pet friendly and it houses Anthony's favorite plane, the SR-71 Blackbird along with many many more! The museum is also located just around the corner from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base which has the aircraft boneyard with surplus military airplanes that can be mobilized at any time! It’s really cool to see, not to mention that it was in a Transformer movie!
The Tanque Verde Ranch has several a la carte activities including horse back riding, mountain biking, and guided hikes through the desert. The schedule changes weekly when it comes to the times of these events but all activities are sure to be a ton of fun!
