Tucson Winter Warmness




A lot different from home in Durango

Romero Canyon in The Santa Catalina Mtns
Great hiking and biking down here in Tucson, Pima County AZ.






We have seen a bit of wildlife this season, including three bobcats, a herd of bighorn sheep, a snake and this little Gila Monster, besides the usual birds and rabbits.



CLIMBING WASSON PEAK



One adventure that we always seem to fit in to a visit to Tucson is to climb Mt Wasson, the highest of the Tucson Mountains just west of the city.  This year we took the Hugh Norris Trail (I call it the Chuck Norris Trail -- it's a ass-kicker) up and back for a total of eleven miles and a gain in elevation of 2000 ft.

The poppies and all other flowers were out in force.  Crazy!
