It is amazing to drive up the Catalina Highway (leading to Mount Lemmon). A number of zones are passed as you climb higher into the mountain. In a mere 20 minutes you leave behind the saguaros of the Sonoran Desert and find yourself surrounded by pine trees (and at least twenty degrees cooler!)
Frankly I'm not sure where these were taken. Probably on the Butterfly Trail.

Not to be confused with the tree of life. This tree is the symbol of existence (whatever that means).
