Potpourri of Tucson Mountain Views

T'was a simple reference from the weather man. There would be snow at higher elevations.

YUP!


Run for the long lens.


Unfortunately I don't have my photo editing program on the computer out here in AZ. so I can't work on removing the power lines.  But look closely at the little white sticks just above the top power line and to the right.  Them there sticks are the towers atop Mount Lemmon, the highest point around here.The snowy hills we can see are actually in front of Mount Lemmon, which is further away though higher in elevation.. Below is a photo I took in 2015 when we did drive up to the top.




It is a gorgeous drive from the Tucson Valley and there are plenty of stopping places. 




One of the interesting views gives you a look at Thimble Peak. It is an easy marker to identify the separation between Bear canyon in front of the thimble and Sabino Canyon which is on the other side of the thimbe.







Climbers are sometimes around to test their skills on some of the formations.


Or you can just gaze down into Tucson from above.



My daughter and our two grandsons were on this particular drive.


If there has been a recent rain you can also see some waterfalls.
