Mount Lemmon, Arizona from below.

Mount Lemmon is a famous "sky island" that is an approximately 45 minute drive from Tucson, Arizona @ E Tanque Verde Rd & E Catalina Hwy. The mountain is at an elevation of 9,157 feet which makes the overall climate very different from that of the surrounding desert area and makes it a popular tourist destination for those in the Phoenix and Tucson areas, particularly in the summer months. Mount Lemmon is located in the Coronado National Forest, is the home of Ski Valley, is the location of the town Summerhaven, and is the site of an astronomical observatory.
