Mount Lemmon, with a summit elevation of 9,159 feet, is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains. Two day earlier a storm blew through and dropped some snow up there. We had a beautiful day to drive up and check it out.
At the 4000 foot level, mostly cactus and some palo verde tree
Taking a short side hike
The flora is transitioning to oak trees
Getting higher and looking down at Tucson
More interesting rock formations
This guy was letting people view the sun.
I saw sun spots and solar flairs that were larger than the Earth
There were many bicyclists climbing the mountain
The flora is now transitioning to pine trees
Someone is about to hit with a snowball
The ski lift 8000 feet was offering ride
up and down the mountain
We had lunch at the Iron Door
They served a sandwich named for me.
I did not have it. I sounded too spicy
It was a great day checking out Mt. Lemmon
