General
Hitchcock Self Service Campground
For a few
days in mid February 2009 there was some
snow on Mount Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona.
We took the opportunity to drive up and
spend the day in the snow. We decided to
stay at General Hitchcock Campground since
the 6000 feet in elevation was about where
the temperature changed from 32 degrees.
So it was just under freezing and a bit
more sunny than the campgrounds further
up the mountain. This is a self service
area, and the Fee Station was closed so
we used the envelopes provided to pay $10
for our daily stay.

Take an envelope. Since they
were all wet at the bottom we
reached in from the top for a
dry one that would still seal.
We had correct change but we
needed to use some actual coins.
The envelopes and payment slot
were large enough to accommodate
the coins

Self Service pay area is easy
to use with a check, or correct
change. We had intended to purchase
a pass to use Mt Lemmon all year,
but the Fee Station was closed.

We drove up on a snowy day in
Feb 2009. The Mt Lemmon Highway
was restricted to 4x4 and cars
with chains. A yellow bear warning
sign stands out against the white
background

Looking up at the falling snow
and frosted trees

White trees are not a common
sight in Southern Arizona, so
this drive up into the snow line
was a treat
