Tucson Mountains

The Tucson Mountains are a minor mountain range west of Tucson, Arizona. The Tucson Mountains, including Wasson Peak, are one of four notable mountain ranges surrounding the Tucson valley. The other ranges include the most prominent, the Santa Catalina Mountains, followed by the Rincon Mountains, and the Santa Rita Mountains.

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is located on the west flank of the Tucson Mountains. Much of the range is protected by Saguaro National Park and Tucson Mountain County Park.
