[RHINO]

ok so i wanted to go on one of the last mt lemon ride but didnt make it,, it has been about 10 yrs or so since i been up mt lemon and that was specifically to walk/explore the prison camp remains and F86 crash site. i found the prison camp but could not find the crash.

i'm prolly gone make a trip up this summer so,,,, anybody been to it and can give me some better directions? i know its a hiking trail from the camp but it must be hidden pretty good.

I haven't been up there since before the Aspen fire. I'm curious how much vegetation has grown back.

In 1957, two F-86 Sabres based out of Davis Monthan had a mid-air collision above the Catalina Mountains. The crash site is located next to Novio Spring and I have some links attached that show what's left of the planes and how to reach the site.

The GPS coordinates posted on the "Index" page are way off of anything near Mt. Lemmon.

The trail description should get you close, though.
