A few of us took the ride from Tucson up to the top of a nearby mountain, Mt Lemmon. You go from high 80s to the low 60s with snow still in the shady sides of the hills. A nice curvy mountain road. You can actually be from a thick stand of saguaro cactus into the starting of the pine forest in about 15 to 20 minutes. Views for miles and miles from the top of this "sky island". If you are ever in the area dont pass it up.
