Sabino Canyon in Tucson, AZ

We had a great day yesterday. We went to Tucson to visit the Sabino Canyon in the Coronado National Forest. We took the tram tour through the canyon and it was nice. When we left there we went to Bob's favorite restaurant in Arizona - Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse at Trail Dust Town. It was 3:30 when we arrived and they didn't open until 4:30, so Bob suggested we drive up to Mt. Lemmon while we waited. I could have fainted! Mt. Lemmon is 9,157 ft. above sea level and Mr. Flatlander decides he'll drive up there. It's 24 miles from the base to the ski lodge at the top. So...up we went and it was a beautiful drive and Bob did fine. We're both still in shock that he did so well. The following 2 posts will show Trail Dust Town & Mt. Lemmon. The photos below are of Sabino Canyon.
