We got a fairly early start on Tuesday June 17 2014 to try to get there ahead of the wind. We were only somewhat successful.

Frankly I'm not sure where these were taken. Probably on the Butterfly Trail.

Went up to Mt. Lemmon with the M3 and Summicron 5cm f2, and some Ilford Delta 100

It seems like weeks since I have seen balloon debris on the trail...

The first morning we got there, snow covered most of the ground. I had to shovel about four inches of snow to clear a place to pitch our tent. It was beautiful!

There were some beautiful areas near the canyon, but I was surprised the cattle were this area... Note that in on the USGS Maps this canyon does not have a name - in the Cowgill and Glendening guide this is called Edgar Canyon (which is one drainage south on the USGS Maps).

The cliffs below Point 5817 are a prominent feature when looking down into this area.

The sun started descending into the horizon as my daughter and i ascended the Catalina range, just outside Tucson, Az driving an alpine roadway en route to Mount Lemmon. Somewhere around 5000 ft above sea level we started to see snow dustings along the road. We stopped just below the Palisades at a popular vista point. I let my daughter play in the snow for the first time of her life.

Looking down canyon towards the Davis Spring area.

The ridge below the Knagge Trail has some lovely open grassy sections.
