Any visitors looking for a scenic tour should include mount Lemmon. It is easily reached from the Catalina Highway.
Mount Lemmon, with a summit elevation of 9,159 feet, is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains. It is located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, Arizona, United States. The Catalina Highway, also called the Mount Lemmon Highway runs up the Santa Catalina Mountains from the east side of Tucson up to Summerhaven (ski resort), at the top of Mt. Lemmon.

Below is from a review:
How do we love thee? Let us count the ways: ranchero tacos stuffed with veggies and jackfruit, Frida Kahlo tostadas and cilantro pesto sopes (topped tortillas), coconut curry bowls, kombucha on tap and CBD lattes. The mysterious 'all powers' that accompanies each order includes soup, salsa, rice, beans, veggies and coffee. The bright orange turmeric shots, however, are extra.

Places that make Tucson, Arizona famous
These are places that are special and unique to Tucson.
Your listing host's alma mater. The University of Arizona is the top state school in Arizona. People from ASU may not realize this. Those visiting Tucson should tour the campus. There is a VERY LARGE student union with many trendy shops and restaurants within. For those looking to experience the U of A spirit I recommend the more traditional restaurants and shops lining the perimeter of the campus.
