Thanks for t...Really enjoyed your wonderful photos! Thanks for taking me back to revisit my nostalic memories of a solo road trip I made through Arizona in the early 70's. I was just going to be going through Tuscon, but a native told me to be sure & take the scenic drive up to Mount Lemmon. I'll never forget what a beautiful & breathtaking drive that was up to the Mount, and then the gorgeous "pull-offs" all along the drive. All of this then culminated with the appearance of a light snow & Inn at the top! (The Inn was there in the early 70's) And, as I now see so many other travelers have commented on various pages about the drive up to Mount Lemmon themselves: What a delightful surprise it is to discover as you make the climb, in a car, or on foot, or however, that you feel as if you have been transported to another world; as the terrain becomes lush forests & the climate changes with the temperature dropping at least 30 degress up on the Mount! It was such a treat for me because I had known nothing about Mount Lemmon at the time. Just a young woman in the 70's who decided to spontaneously take a road trip on her own, & who just as impulsively decides to check out the very hip & cool city of Tuscon. And because I did, I got to discover this beautiful place that is truly one of my most special memories. I need to put traveling there again on my "bucket" list!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
