My family and I lived on the 3C Ranch, headquarters and housing located 2-3 miles south of Peppersauce Canyon. There were 2 other ranches - VY and U-Circle located to the east that were part of the 3C. All were cattle ranches. My father was employed as a full-time Wrangler, and he, along with 2 other Cowboys, were tasked with overseeing the care of over several hundred head of cattle. The area encompassing the ranches was enormous, ranging from west of the control road, just below the top of Mt. Lemmon to Wrights Peak and East to what is now San Manuel. My awesome father gave me the greatest experience of having me work alongside him as a fulltime cowboy during summer vacation when I was 10 - 12 years old. To this day, and I'm not a spring chicken, I consider it to have been one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. The 2 things that stands out for me is appreciation for the great outdoors and the comradery among the cowboy culture. Sadly, that way of life has disappeared from southwestern Arizona.
Great video. I made the trip on a 2006 Crown Victoria. Down the mountain bottomed out twice. Going up only once right around 48:50 to 48:55. Thanks to a full box frame on the car.

I’ve been through there so many times! I never get enough or tired of driving there! Rt77 to Oracle through the zipline, to peppersauce camping area. The dirt road leads you to Mt. Lemmon’s control road all the way to the top!👌😎👍
I haven’t seen the entire video, but it doesn’t look too bad. My friend used to go up and down the road with his dad’s Subaru. I may even attempt it with my minivan, just kidding. :)
lol 😂 I’ve seen so many Subaru parts left in that trail! Mostly plastic shrouds from the bottom of them, a few months back someone rolled over on one of them outback! But for most parts it’s doable! Just gotta be aware that there’s some bad spots!
Awesome. Did you pass any cyclists on the way up? After I get a place in Tuscon, that road is probably the number one cycling objective on my bucket list to get done before I’m too old. I got some training to do.
You don’t see too many bikes going the back way. A lot going the main route. To dangerous with big ford raptor trucks running up this hill and running everything off the road. I drive a side by side up the back way and the truck people think they own the road and will run you off the road
@@carolynlambert3161 thanks for the info. That was something I feared. Off road Motorized vehicles of all types are a menace, imo. They are both dangerous and cause environmental damage. Here in the northeast, the so-called ‘adventure’ types have done some much damage to the network of old, no longer maintained roads that they are often impassable due to erosion and 3’ deep ruts. And they’re largely a bunch of entitled assholes that don’t give a f**k about anyone but themselves. And don’t get me started about all the RUclips wannabes.
@@richardwhitehead4684 wow really? my off road motorized vehicle didn't cause those ruts they are cause by erosions and no maintaining of the roads. The backway up the Mountain is for 4x4 and off road vehicles yes you can do it in a regular car. Here in Arizona, we have many off road trails for 4x4 and off road vehicles that are being invaded by cyclists. So don't even get me started on the entitled cyclists that think they own the roads! STAY OF OUR TRAILS
Kimberly, it’s approximately 25 miles up to the top once you hit the dirt? One day would like to tackle it. We lived in the Sahuarita area for about 7 years before work brought us out to DC back in 2013. Now I spend my days dreaming of getting back to Tucson. Thanks for posting this and your other videos. Living vicariously through you.
Hey Kimberly, I watched your video and I must say it's really amazing and helpful. Do you want a website? I'll design a FREE website UI for your business. If you like it, then we can talk further.

My dad grew up in the cattle business on the West side! Really great memories that you have!😀

Sounds like quite an adventure!😀
@@TucsonArizona It was brutal getting off to move rocks and branches. Certainly wouldn't do it again.

I haven’t seen the entire video, but it doesn’t look too bad. My friend used to go up and down the road with his dad’s Subaru. I may even attempt it with my minivan, just kidding. :)
Haha you haven’t lived until you’ve off roaded the back side of Mount Lemmon in a minivan! 😄
Lol😂

LOVE your videos...And thank God I never tried the back way. My heart is still thumping..
HOW on Earth could two vehicles pass one another ?
I know!!! Very carefully… 🤣 thanks for the view!
Easy!
Awesome. Did you pass any cyclists on the way up? After I get a place in Tuscon, that road is probably the number one cycling objective on my bucket list to get done before I’m too old. I got some training to do.
We saw people on motorcycles but no bicycles. This would be an ultimate mountain bike route!
I was thinking the same thing about biking this route- hope you get to do it.
You don’t see too many bikes going the back way. A lot going the main route. To dangerous with big ford raptor trucks running up this hill and running everything off the road. I drive a side by side up the back way and the truck people think they own the road and will run you off the road

I Love you Tucson❤❤❤❤ Thank you
😀
Love it thak you cfc
Something tells me you’ve driven this road once or twice??? 😊😊😊

Thanks so much for those kind words! Mount Lemmon is one of my favorite places in the world. Such a cool spot. ❤️
I did this road on my harley with my 13 year old son on the back, was quite a thrill.....Javi G.
That would be quite the thrill! 😀
❤
Nice but you need a Jeep. I wanted to buy a property off Mt Lemmon Rd pass Oracle but I worry about the road when you have no 4x4.
Yes. A 4x4 for sure!😀
I would suggest anyone doing this have a four-wheel-drive at least with good suspension. It’s very bumpy and a lot of rocks.
Very good recommendation!
Unfortunately if I cant drive my Mustang. I AINT GOIN!! :)
It does look fun though.
Haha yeah you’d probably bottom out but it’s so fun!
