Haha darn Mt. lemmon is pretty good. Went up there last night. The only down side right now is the wind. And i almost hit a branch on the road last night up there.

i can see how the wind would be bad times. weather.com is predicting partial cloudiness and rain on saturday.... so my days i picked out might be ok. unless the rain decides to come early!

mt lemon is definetly the hot spot down there. cruise it all the way to the top and grab a bite to eat up there. its an awesome drive, and some very beautiful scenery.

Just got back from a cruise to Mt Lemmon yesterday morning with a bunch of guys. We usually go up at least twice a month. Its 28 miles to the top. Speed limit is 35 in "most spots." I would say its one of the best roads in AZ if it was empty. Saw some small rocks on the road from all the cliffs so watch out
While youre on that side of town you might check out Agua Caliente Lake.

If you go South on Kolb Rd just North of I-10 youll see thousands of airplanes and helicopters. Titan Missle Museum is pretty cool. If you like chili cheese hot dogs you have to hit Pats Chili Dogs on Grande/Speedway but only during daylight
