Seven Cataracts Vista

The Seven Cataracts Vista is a scenic overlook on the 27-mile-long Mount Lemmon Scenic Byway (also known as the Catalina Highway). This road is considered one of the most scenic drives in southeast Arizona and is located northeast of Tucson. This 27-mile road provides access to Mount Lemmon and the scenic Santa Catalina Mountains.

The Seven Cataracts Vista is located just past mile marker 9. The Seven Cataracts are a series of waterfalls formed by a stream that passes through Willow Canyon. The stream, which only runs after a heavy rain or during the snowmelt, eventually empties into Bear Canyon. The Seven Cataracts is a popular spot for canyoneering; you may be able to see people rappelling down into the canyon.

There are no amenities at this vista. There is an informational sign at the overlook about the Pusch Ridge Wilderness which is located a short distance to the west of this overlook.
