Located just west of the metro area, the Tucson Mountains are filled with volcanic boulders, typically found near the base of the cliffs from which they have fallen. The boulders in the Tucson Mts. are low elevation, making them an ideal place to head once the weather starts to cool down. Their low elevation also puts them in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, an amazing backdrop for a day of cranking. You will find beautiful examples of many incredible desert cacti and other plants, and you never know what kind of wildlife might cross your path, or nestle under your pad. A day bouldering in the Tucson Mts. is a rich and rewarding experience, and if you are lucky you will even have front row seats for one of Tucson's famous sunsets.
