Mt. Lemmon, Tucson AZ

[Mrihasit]

Awesome vid. I've biked all the way up to summerhaven 5 times and didn't know half the info you gave us. Next time I'll have a little more background on the mountain and think about it when I'm killing myself to get to the top haha

[greeeyedboi]

My name is Lemmon. funny stuff

[dgester]

wow that was really thorough and interesting. awesome video man. thanks for posting it

[Ricklawrence]

My wife and I are moving from New Hampshire to Tucson the end of Nov. The top of Mount Lemmon looks just like the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We were down there a couple years ago and fell in love with the desert, we did not know anything about Lemmon. Thank you for the video

[GearBuyersGuide]

@Ricklawrence

[Ricklawrence]

@GearBuyersGuide You can not imagine how much we are looking forward to living down there. Thank you very my for replying to my post.

[woolridgewilly]

awesome video, looks like a fun drive

[Patsyjo37]

I lived in Tucson From 75-78.We moved there from S. Florida I fell in love with the desert as well as the mtns. My parents took us up to mt. Lemmon quite a bit . Thanks for the post.

[Engineer245]

We have been up there 3 times and on weekends they have live music in a park righ there in Summer Heaven. Just heard the park has been sold to build condos. What a loss. Guess we won't go up there for the music any more. We also been to the lake on the way up a nice place to camp and fish! The old WW2 Japanese Incampment is very interesting too!

[gonzido2]

[MonyMG1959]

[stupiderthanjupiter]

Thank you! Appreciate the thoroughness- been there several times when I lived in Tucson, really a great resource. Like how you did the whole drive in context and your narration.

[gotwaldorzo]

[Noahyay]

I live in Tucson and i have never been to Mt. Lemon i always ask my parents to take me but they never do

[GearBuyersGuide]

@Noahyay

doh, you missed the one moment of snow we had this year too

I would encourage you to try to get them to take you up there three or four times this year, to see the changes over the seasons

[zezima2300]

[namekianking]

[rdiggity1]

very interesting

[mpsummerville]

also there is a ZERO tollerance for speeding. i was pulled over with a friend on our streetbikes but only got a warning for doing 57 in a 35!! but the sherrif's brother was friends with my father. Tucsons kinda a small place but you gotta love it!!

[panchodaman]

Awesome job! I  first saw snow on Mt. Lemmon In 84. Ive loved the place since my first trip!

[GearBuyersGuide]

@panchodaman

A few years earlier than me.. I don't know the last time you visited, but it's changed a bit over the years

[panchodaman]

@GearBuyersGuide Yeah it was sad too see the fire burning from Tucson:( But it will always get better!

[panchodaman]

About 4-5 months ago but still had a blast:) 

[3alazagg]

hi guys, I will be moving to Tucson soon from Australia, and just wondering is it safe? nice? i mean whats good and messed up about it? thanks

[GearBuyersGuide]

@3alazagg

Welcome to Arizona. Tucson is a great city, there are safer and less safe areas of town like anywhere of course. But overall a very family friendly place

Let us know what you think once you've experienced Tucson !!

[kswizzle12795]

ORO VALLEY, is where its attt(:

[soggy9]

@kswizzle12795 YEEEEA

[soggy9]

i live in oro valley. i think im going to go see that aircraft (u said b-57?) i need something to do bad >.< any ideas on where it is on the road leading to mt. lemmon?

[GearBuyersGuide]

@soggy9

Sure, it's only like 2 miles off the main road, look upo the exact location on the web.. searc for the blog from the guy who owns summit hut (I think thats whre I found the best direstions)

You go up the road, off on to the trail, then two miles up the trail, then go off trail for the last part to find the wreckage .. Good luck !!

Please take pics and post them so we can all see what it looks like now

[aFreshStart2010]

i would love to cycle this road from bottom to the top..amazing!

Great vid! i love mt lemmon!, i didnt know there was an f-86 crash up there?, do you know what trail will take you to it? i know u said most of them do, but theres a lot of trails haha

[SweatStealth204]

cool vid,! mt lemon is a really fun road, i didnt know there was a f-86 crash up there? do u know which trail will exactly take you to it?

[GearBuyersGuide]

@SweatStealth204

Yup, Butterfly, it's close to the upper end. Google for it and you'll find the owner of Summit Hut did a great blog entry on it and how / where to find it

We'll be headed up there soon too

[djtonyk2009]

Great video, Thanks guys

[nik78757]

very informative...thanks for sharing

[Trooper45]

That parking area at 2:24 is where the van is just look down lol. Must have sucked to be in it when it crashed off the cliff...

[Trooper45]

A plane crashed there? I'm trying to find it on google maps. I just know there's an old 70's van at the bottom when you get to the tiled viewpoint you can see it way down there

[zoolanderfred]

Cool vid! That's very beautiful country and I enjoyed the history lesson. Man, I live in the midwest, all flat land and very boring. This scenery makes me want to move, but that dreaded thing called, a job, keeps me here. Thanks for posting.

[GearBuyersGuide]

@zoolanderfred

I grew up in the 'flatlands'.. so I know what you mean

I think that's why I like these mountains so much

[qwerty06022]

i rod my bike up there like five or six time

[biguy525]

nice video

[brothers506]

Very interesting liked it a lot

[DaveyD4419]

wow! so many things going on with this place! thank you for sharing, i enjoyed it.

curious what video camera you were using and also what happened when you said it cut out on you?

[GearBuyersGuide]

@DaveyD4419

I was using the JVC Evrio, it was just out of battery and it cut me off in mid sentence (but wasn't anything imortant)

[fattwam]

Great video, but why does it look like your all over the road when driving. lol looks like you are swirving in and out of both lanes.

Good video like always though.

[KURGAN44]

Thanks for posting this! I have been wanting to get up there lately and have not had the time.

[GearBuyersGuide]

@KURGAN44

There was still lots of snow obviously, but with the rain today, I bet a lot melted

[Doomking101]

coool
