December 26-28, 2020 Tucson, Arizona

 74 degrees and sunny.


We started the day at Tucson Mountain Park on the west side of Tucson. It is a very beautiful area of the sonoran desert. Looked like there were many good hikes in this area. We didn't have time to hike any today.

View west from Gates Pass. Red mountain in Tucson Mountain park.

Saguaro National Park west is right next to Tucson Mountain Park. we stopped at the visitors center and walked on the Cactus Garden trail. View of desert flora.

Looks like Rudolf the red nosed deer crossing, a cactus wren and some petroglyphs in the park. The CCC built this stone picnic shelter at Ez-Kim-in-Zin picnic area. Along the scenic drive.

Petroglyphs on the Petroglyph trail at the Signal Hill picnic area.

Petroglyph on Signal Hill. John on the petroglyph trail.

Tucson seen from Saguaro National park west. We had dinner with Mary and Dave in their beautiful new home in Tucson, socially distanced in their backyard. They recently moved here from Breckenridge. I worked, skied and hiked with Mary in Summit County. It was great to visit with them. 

Moon between two flags on a neighbors RV. Sunset tonight. 

Sunset the next day and with the moon.

Sunset and moon shots from the fair grounds.
And one last moon shot with the RV parking at the fair grounds.
