Took a hike from the Rogers Trough Trailhead. Start north on the Reavis trail but at about 1.5 miles turn west down Rogers Canyon to the Cliff Dwellings and Angels Basin.
This is the view from the window in the main building. This prehistoric cliff dwelling was constructed and occupied by Salado Indians approximately 600 years ago.

I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I car camped in the Rose Canyon Lake campground.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Canyon_Lake
Rose Canyon Lake is located 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Tucson, Arizona in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Mount Lemmon. Rose Canyon Lake is the only lake in the Santa Catalina District that is managed for recreational fishing. It is relatively small (7 acres) and is tucked away in a picturesque stand of mature ponderosa pines high on the slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains. A paved road through Rose Canyon Campground leads to a small parking area a short walk from the water. Anglers fish in the lake throughout the summer, though rainbow trout are stocked only during the cooler months of the season. Fish large enough to catch and take home generally are released in the lake about once a month from early May through the end of June, when water temperatures become a little too warm for these cold water fish. In mid-September, stocking resumes after water temperatures moderate a bit and continues for another couple of months. All stocking and fishing regulations for Rose Canyon lake, as well as all the other lakes within the Coronado are managed by Arizona Game and Fish.[1]

This is a beautiful place, and many people come here to enjoy the other features that it offers in addition to fishing. Tall trees and rocky slopes line the shore and are reflected in the lake’s sheltered waters. Rose Canyon Lake Trail #37 leads around the water’s edge and provides good opportunities for photography, bird watching, and just plain strolling. A few downed logs close to the water provide good places to sit and enjoy a snack or a bit of quiet meditation.[2]

Mount Lemmon Ski Valley is located on the slopes of Mount Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains just north of Tucson, Arizona. It is part of the Coronado National Forest, located near the mountaintop village of Summerhaven. The summit is 9,157 feet (2,791 m) above sea level, and receives approximately 180 inches (4.6 m) of snow annually.

I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I hiked the Mt. Lemmon - Lemmon Rock Loop trail which starts with the Mt. Lemmon Trail #12 to the Wilderness of Rocks trail and climbs back out on the Lemmon Rock Trail.

This area is slowly recovering from two devastating fires: the Bullock Fire, which consumed more than 32,000 acres around Mt. Lemmon in the summer of 2002, and the Aspen Fire, which came a year later.

When the trail map is displayed this nicely, it's a neat trick to photograph it. It was a lot easier to look at the trail on my camera monitor than it was to get the map out of my pack. I should know by now that those squiggly lines on a trail map are not your friend.

I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I hiked the Mt. Lemmon - Lemmon Rock Loop trail which starts with the Mt. Lemmon Trail #12 to the Wilderness of Rocks trail and climbs back out on the Lemmon Rock Trail.
