Here's what the site had to say about the scenic fall nature views at Mount Lemmon:
"Located in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Mount Lemmon offers plenty of chances for fun and adventure whether you enjoy hiking, mountain biking, or camping. All through the fall months, the aspens and maples put on a glorious show with their bright yellow and red tones. While gazing upon the many trees, you'll get to see the majestic HooDoo rocks, resulting from millions of years of erosion. Along the ground, the many Saguaro cacti and the last of the wildflowers complete the picturesque views."
