Cycling Mt. Lemmon for a thrill
Jeremiah Inn is becoming known as the premier bed and breakfast for cyclists (or so they tell us!). Located a few pedal strokes from the start of the Mt. Lemmon ascent, offering garaged bicycle storage and a place to do simple maintenance on equipment, and serving a breakfast that provides generous fuel for cycling makes our cycling guests happy, and that makes us happy. It is 26 miles to the top of this well paved road and last week a cyclist ... Read More

Mt. Lemmon – Hiking the Meadow Trail
The innkeepers spent a recent day hiking the Mt. Lemmon Meadow Trail at the 9200′ level. It was an uncharacteristically cool day and the temperature was 56 F as the day began. The blanket of wildflowers that greets hikers peeked through the fog. When temperatures in the valley can reach 100, it’s refreshing to lose 30 degrees by driving the 26 miles to the summit from the bed and breakfast. On this day, the picnic and Scrabble game took place at ... Read More

Coronado National Monument is Back!
Last summer the Monument Fire devoured more than 30,000 acres, including parts of Coronado National Monument, and canyons to the north of it. A visit to the area on August 9, 2012, just eleven months after the fire, revealed green hillsides and wildflowers in abundance. Plenty of evidence of the fire remains, but beauty abounds as well. You may enjoy hiking in the area again, and the neighborhood restaurant, Ricardo’s, has risen from its ashes, ... Read More
