Hey that looks cool. Has anyone gone up the backside of Mt. Lemon, from the town of Oracle? - then down to Tucson. That looks like a nice scenic drive. or done any other moderate to moderate + trails in that area? I've had all these on my wish list.

If I'm not mistaken... the Coke Ovens have been off limits for over a year now. Seems like the owners shut the place down due to vandalism or something.
