We are now staying in a desert RV park just southeast of Tucson. Tucson is another city in a valley amongst the mountains here in the southwest. Our first outing was a trip to Saguaro National Park East. This park and its brother on the west side of Tucson are home to the giant saguaro cactus, the nation’s largest. There was a nice driving loop that was quite scenic with parking lots at the trailheads. We hiked a couple of trails to explore the terrain. The next day, we drove up to the top of Mount Lemmon. With the peak at over 9000 feet, it is cold enough in the winter to have some great skiing. No skiing now but the chair lift operates all year to take visitors to the peak for the view. Days later, we celebrated Claudia’s birthday by visiting the 22nd Street Antique Mall, the Historic 4th Ave District, and dinner at one of the highest rated Mexican restaurants in Tucson, El Charro. A day later, we were off to find the Tanque Verde Falls. Yes, they do have waterfalls in the desert mountains, but this was a moderate rated trail that we were never going to see as it was beyond our abilities. We did get our exercise along with some great pictures.
