Mount Lemmon is the highest point of the Santa Catalina Mountains and is known as the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S. An abundance of saguaros, the large cactus that is native to the south western area of the United States, grows up to 60 ft tall and can be seen through Tuscan.

Retail outlets display a variety of unique and fashionable wares.
