Drive up the scenic road to Mount Lemmon and you will experience dramatic changes in landscape and temperature as you go up in elevation. Once on top, you can choose to take a walk or hike on one of the many trails up there, spend some time in the small town of Summerhaven, or check out the SkyCenter observatory. The SkyCenter offers a great guided stargazing program - make sure to book a spot in advance and dress appropriately - it gets cold up there!
