A Beautiful Desert Diamond

by tetonski1 - last update: Jun 28, 2005

A Beautiful Oasis in the Desert

Driving above Tucson up to Mt. Lemmon Ski Area
My trip to Tucson was a learning experience. I expected a dried up old Arizona town and found a diamond in the rough. Who would have known that I could lay in the sun by a pool in *85 degree April sunshine and drive an hour up the Santa Catalina Mountains and be able to make a snowball?

P.S. You can see Tucson in the background.

A short drive up a winding mountain road above Tucson brings you to Mt. Lemmon, and some cool snow filled slopes.

Pros:"A diamond in the desert"

In A Nutshell:"I love Tucson way more than Pheonix - And it's cooler!"
