This trail offers a stunning route to reach Mt. Wassen, the highest point of the TMD. Along the way one can see saguaros and other desert plants, as well as possibly wildlife as well, reptiles, birds, and possibly mammals, like jackrabbits and javalinas, or even mountain lions.

Molino Canyon Vista
  • 5m
A pretty canyon that makes for a nice view, especially pretty when there’s water down in the creekbed.
Molino Basin Trailhead
  • 1h
Hike down along an often-dry river and look for ancient grinding holes left by the Hohokam culture, used for turning acorns into flour.
Seven Cataracts
  • 5m
Take in great views of nearby Thimble Peak as well as view a rushing cascade of waterfalls on the opposite side of the ravine, though they are dry much of the year. Good spot to see wildlife, too.
Windy Point Vista
  • 30m
Wait for sunset or just marvel at the beauty of the landscape below you.
Hoodoo Vista
  • 5m
Hoodoos are strange, often otherworldly shapes caused by erosion of wind and rain. The drive has lots of them so they deserve their own pullout, don’t you think?

Here you can hike to Barnam Rock and the further Leopold Point, catching great views of the San Pedro valley below.
Palisades Visitor Center
  • 5m
Useful and informative visitor centre with bathrooms.
Aspen Vista

Mt Lemmon Ski Valley
  • 1h
Visit here if you've got some spare time (and some spare skis)!
Mt. Lemmon Community Center
  • 1h
What this tiny hamlet lacks in size, it makes up for in heart: Grab tasty fudge, enjoy a giant, freshly made cookie, have a sit-down dinner, or find a nice trail to hike. It’s all here in quiet Summerhaven.
Marshall Gulch Picnic Area
  • 3h
Stop here to find a place to sit, eat, and enjoy nature.
Rose Canyon Lake
  • 30m
Get in some good views and some good camping here.
Natural Arch
  • 5m
This massive arch is surprisingly easy to miss as you zip up the highway, but it’s worth the brief stop, and certainly the biggest arch you’ll see on the tour, though there are a few small ones tucked here and there among the other hoodoos.
Geology Vista Point
  • 5m
This stop offers grand views of the valley and some interesting interpretive signs that detail how this vast area came to be.
