Cool Summerhaven
We had not planned to drive up to Summerhaven on Sunday, so I had no suitable camera with me in the car. The iPhone's camera is like my parents' Brownie Box Camera, but with color!
It's always at least 10 degrees F cooler in Summerhaven atop Mount Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains just north of Tucson. Summerhaven is in a "sky island" of conifer trees above the tree line. It looks a lot like the White Mountains of New Hampshire, or the White mountains of northern Arizona. It's a pleasant drive up the mountain. There are a number of hiking trails and campsites. The views are spectacular.
Be warned, there is not much to see or do in the town itself..;)
The town suffered a devastating fire a few years ago. Many houses were burned, and the forest was blackened and looked really sad. It is amazing how well the green has returned.
