It was so green!
The view from the top.
Tree that got burned in a fire.
Today we hiked Mt. Lemmon, a mountain in the Catalinas, the mountains to the north of Tucson. The hike was about 4 miles each way, and so enjoyable. It is part of the "Sky Islands", called this because they are so much cooler than the rest of Tucson. The ecosystem was so different at the higher elevation that there were actually green plants and trees growing. It was like hiking through woods. We all enjoyed seeing green things again, after seeing so much brown lately.
