No. 2 of Ski Resorts in Arizona

Mt Lemmon

Mt Lemmon is the highest peak in the Santa Catalina Mountains of Arizona, United States, with an elevation of approximately 2,790 m, and is just a 1-hour drive from Tucson. This majestic mountain is renowned for its unique ecological diversity, ranging from the cactus views of the Sonoran Desert at the base to the pine forests and ski resort at the summit, creating distinct vertical climate zones, and is known as a "sky island in the desert." It is not only a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts but also offers a wealth of recreational facilities. In summer, visitors can drive up along the Catalina Highway, enjoying spectacular views of canyons, waterfalls, and wildflowers along the way, or taste desserts at the famous Le Buzz cafe in the mountain-top town of Summerhaven. In winter, it attracts ski enthusiasts as the southernmost ski resort in the United States.

Biosphere 2

Biosphere 2 is a miniature artificial ecological cycle system built to demonstrate the famous biosphere concept. He is a man-made closed ecosystem commissioned by Space Biosphere Ventures. The construction took 8 years and cost 150 million US dollars to build a complete biosphere and absolutely closed from the outside. The experiments in Biosphere 2 were carried out twice, but both ended in failure. Today, this world-famous experimental project has also been transformed into a science museum. As one of the tourist attractions, the exploration of the biosphere requires the continuous efforts of scientists.
