Feels great to have people in my life like Alison and Erin that will graciously support an adventure like this - here Alison takes our picture after taking us up the mountain - Thanks Alison!!
Whether you call it the Catalina Highway, the General Hitchcock Highway (its official name), the Mount Lemmon Highway or Sky Island Highway, this is a beautiful drive almost to the top of Mount Lemmon, just northeast of Tucson. There are plenty of places to pull off and get good photos, and I'm told it's very popular for sunset photos.
A snowy Rincon Mountain to the left, and eastern Tucson to the right as seen mid on Mount Lemmon late in the afternoon.
Better large, or full-sized (careful - 41 megapixels!).
I wish I could control the DoF a bit more with this camera. This shot was taken in true Macro mode (not Digital Macro), and I like the background blur but I wish some of the flowers were in focus that aren't. Oh well! Still a pretty sight.
