This is an easy dirt road that climbs into the higher elevations of the Catalina Mountains. This is a very scenic driver with 360 degree views and suitable for any Land Rover.
A fun, lightly-used backcountry road to popular Mt. Lemmon. Usually driven from south side on busy Catalina Highway. Camp in Coronado National Forest’s Peppersauce Campground. Well-maintained dirt road but very bumpy. Low range is helpful to climb the last few miles up the backside of Mt. Lemmon. Two-wheel drive, high-clearance adequate in dry weather. Snow and ice possible near top in late fall. Avoid during the winter. – www.trails.com
