Mount Lemmon, Mountain peak in Coronado National Forest, Arizona.
Mount Lemmon rises to 9,159 feet above sea level, featuring granite formations and a transition from desert landscapes to subalpine forests through elevation changes.
Sara Plummer Lemmon, for whom the mountain is named, documented plant species during an 1881 expedition led by Lieutenant James H. Carleton.
The Mount Lemmon SkyCenter conducts astronomy research and educational programs, taking advantage of the clear skies and minimal light pollution.
The Catalina Highway provides vehicle access to numerous trails, camping areas, and the southernmost ski resort in the United States.
The mountain exhibits six distinct ecological zones, similar to driving from Mexico to Canada, as visitors ascend from the Sonoran Desert to pine forests.
