Wicked Ride Up Mt. Lemmon, Tucson AZ

Sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks to Daniel Tolomei for video ride up Mt. Lemmon just outside Tucson, Arizona. We need an a clear road and someone get an IMAX camera for this road.

@appeatsleepride Of course! My friend Matt live in Tucson, and I live in Yuma, AZ. I made the ride to his house 2 days prior (7/11/14). Huge thunderstorm heading in. We relaxed the next day then set out on the 13th. At the beginning of the video you can notice a thunderhead/rain cloud looming on the other side of Mt. Lemmon. Overall it was pretty hot at the bottom of the mountain. At Windy Point it gets much cooler. Roughly 15 degree difference. After that, you start seeing more Ponderosa pine trees. The temperature still dropping the higher you climb. At the top there is a small town with a little place to eat (The Cookie Cabin). 

At 00:20 Windy Point is shown.

At 00:31 a car going to fast began to travel in my lane, had to swerve. Take care, some drivers can be dumb.

At 01:10 I point out the clouds overtook the mountain. Noticed it was in our path home.

At 03:00 Windy Point is shown again.

At 04:23 The rain cloud caught us. Slight drizzle, but roads became wet.

Overall the ride is very fun. The roads are usually clear of debris and well maintained. Beautiful view all the way up, and especially on the way down. Multiple pull outs for slower vehicles to let faster ones go by. Many vista pull outs also.
