Tucson
Tucson is situated on an alluvial plain in the Sonoran Desert, at an elevation of approximately 2,400 feet (730 meters) above sea level. The city is enveloped by five mountain ranges, which contribute significantly to its varied topography. To the north lie the Santa Catalina and Tortolita Mountains, while the Santa Rita Mountains are located to the south. The Rincon Mountains are to the east, and the Tucson Mountains border the west. Among these, Mount Lemmon rises to 9,157 feet (2,791 meters) and is notable for being the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S. Meanwhile, Mount Wrightson, the highest peak in the area, reaches 9,453 feet (2,881 meters). This mountainous backdrop, combined with the valley floor, creates a diverse landscape that is both striking and integral to the region's ecology and recreational opportunities.
