Up on Mt. Lemmon

It's a 26 mile drive up a very winding road to the top

Suffering is a popular pastime on Mt. Lemmon

So is rock climbing

Some photographers go to the top (of this vantage point)

Some of us are a bit more cautious

TUCSON, AZ - - Mt. Lemmon tops out at 9,156' and is the highest peak in the Santa Catalina mountains.  Tucson, at about 2,500', appears flat from vantage points heading up the sinuous road to (nearly) the top although it is quite rolling in fact.  We've been to the top before so the drive was more to beat the heat than anything else.  It was mid-90's as we started the 26 mile trip up and 73 degrees at the final parking area.
