Address:

9800 Ski Run Road Mount Lemmon, AZ 85619 (See a map)

Directions:

Find Catalina Highway on the northeast side of Tucson. Follow the road up 27 miles towards the town of Summerhaven. Just after the "welcome" sign for Summerhaven (but before the town) turn right on to Ski Run Rd. At the top of this road (about 2 miles) drive through the open Forest Service gate at the end of the parking lot. This is the observatory road. (Note: During the winter months this (lower forest service) gate will be closed and you can proceed no further. We will meet you here at the appointed time.) Go up the road (another 2 miles) to the second, closed, Forest Service gate. Park in the lot to the left. We will greet you here and admit you to the main observatory grounds at your scheduled arrival time. Allow 60 minutes driving time from the base of the mountain to get to the SkyCenter. The Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter is at an altitude of 9,157ft. Remember to bring warm clothing regardless of the time of year.
