On top of Mount Lemmon and 20-30 degrees cooler than Tucson, Summerhaven is especially living up to its name.
The small community has been a go-to destination for Tucsonans and tourists alike, especially during the weeks-long heat wave that has flirted with or broken heat records in Arizona.
“This summer’s been extremely busy, especially the last couple of weeks, as Tucson’s been hitting record highs,” she told KGUN on Monday. “The restaurants are just packed. The streets are packed. It’s not just Tucsonans making the trip; visitors from Phoenix and out of state are discovering Summerhaven.
That’s all led to new businesses popping up in the past year: the Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean, a shop called Ugo’s offering gifts and home decor, and a soon-to-open Mount Lemmon Lodge with overnight accommodations and a Beyond Bread.Longtime resident Jeanne Hartmann, who works at Cookie Cabin, says weekends are “extremely busy,” but that the crew is able to handle the crowds.
