Tucson is the largest city in the area with plenty of resources and facilities and is a central point to most of Coronado National Forest.

Elevations range from 3,000 feet to 10,720 feet. During the summer at lower elevations, temperatures can easily exceed 100F. Activities include hiking, biking, camping, swimming, boating, skiing and sightseeing.
