Usually referred to as just the Catalina Mountains, the Santa Catalina Mountains form the north side of the Tucson Valley. The range is particularly notable for being home to Mount Lemmon, which has a height of 9,147 feet and is the most southern ski destination in America, but there are plenty of other beautiful mountains, canyons, and lakes in the area. Many hiking trails are easily accessible from the city and range in difficulty from very easy to extremely difficult; visitors should note that some areas require hiking permits, which can be obtained from the Coronado National Forest.
