Same-Day Scenic Round Trip
Same-day scenic round trip: $350 for up to 4 passengers from the Tucson metro. Includes two stops on the way up, one stop on the return, and one hour total at the top—Summerhaven, Ski Valley, or split between both. Tax and card fee extra; gratuity optional.
Overnight Lodge Transfer
Mount Lemmon Lodge or Summerhaven transfer: $200 one way on weekdays from the Tucson metro. Weekend trips add $75 per one-way ride. Book each direction separately, with pickup before 2:00 PM for daylight mountain travel. Add tax, card fee, and optional gratuity. Request a specific vehicle for an additional $50; otherwise, the vehicle is based on availability.
Day-Use Plan & Weather
Day-use plan: The driver takes you up, leaves while you enjoy the mountain, and returns at a prearranged time. Waiting after 2:00 PM is $85 per hour through 4:00 PM. After 4:00 PM, the driver cannot remain; a later return must be booked separately and confirmed. If the mountain closes or travel is unsafe, we reschedule for the soonest safe time.
