One of our favorite things to do anytime we are in Tucson, AZ, is to take the scenic drive up Mt. Lemmon. So Friday, March, 7th, we headed up. This is the fourth time we have been up there. It is so interesting to see the changes in the landscape. You go from the desert and hillsides covered in Saguaro Cacti to unusual barren rock formations to Ponderosa Pines to Aspen and other trees at the top. The temperature from the desert to the top can vary as much as 30 degrees. The overlooks provide pretty views of the valley. This time of year much of the foliage was starting to bloom and was very green.
The first photo below was taken at the same spot and same pose we did back in 2012! You can see that picture in the first posting on my blog. We always pack a picnic lunch and stop on our way back down at our favorite picnic area. AH..being out in nature is just so refreshing and serene. We both looked forward to the drive and enjoyed it just as much as the first time we took the drive.
