Catalina Highway Complex (Upper)
SUMMERHAVEN and the SUMMIT AREA Less than one hour from downtown Tucson, perennial water, picnic areas, and a network of wooded trails offer recreation opportunities for all interests and abilities. Mount Lemmon, Marshall Gulch, Ski Valley, and the amenities of Summerhaven make the top of the mountain a fantastic destination year-round. Parking areas can fill quickly during the busy season.
The west end of the trail starts in Santa Catalina State Park, but after 1 mile it enters the Coronado National Forest.
You’ll enjoy good views and get a tour of most of the biological life zones that grace the slopes of the Santa Catalinas along this more difficult trail.
Sunset #90 is a 1.25 mile trail intersecting the higher elevations of Sabino Creek with opportunities to see beautiful rock escarpments excavated by the creek.
This is a delightful trail that passes through an area of such diverse biology that part of it has been designated a Research Natural Area.
This roadside picnic areais located near the crest of the Santa Catalina Mountains in the cool ponderosa pines within a short drive of trailheads, Ski Valley, and the villa
