Windy Point Vista
Scenic spot
👍👍 I really recommend stopping at every Vista going up to Mt Lemmon. The entire drive, geologically, is like driving up the entire West coast. Windy Point Vista is about 6, 000 ft above sea level and the views are awesome. There's a lot of room to explore, bathrooms, and the temps here are a good 20 d...

Fossil Creek Wild and Scenic River Recreation Area

👍👍 A fabulous oasis in the desert! Need a permit to park and hike there in summer. We went when it was 100 in Phoenix, but it is lower temp here and the trail is very shady. The water is cold, but feels great! We made the 14 mile dirt drive in with a mini-van, so doable without an SUV, just go slow. We...
