Mount Lemmon

We decided to take a little mini-vacation that ended up lasting for 1/2 a day. This vacation was to take a break before the final rush of the end of the semester. There is only 3 1/2 weeks left of school plus finals. Mount Lemmon is a mountain only about 30 miles (1 hour by car) away from Tucson. Mike and I didn't know what to expect because we have never been there. Man were we surprised to see evergreen trees!!!

After being surprised by that, we also were extremely surprised to find patches of SNOW on the mountain! These were a little more ice than snow, but WOW!

After finally coming to the top of Mount Lemmon, we found this nice little "gulch" area with a little brook. It was nice and cold up there too!

Overall it was a great mini-vacation, and we were both soo excited to see the SNOW! We can't wait for a good snow up there. When that happens we will return and take the dog (Big Mack) with us.
