On the Coronado Trail

We did finally reach the Mogollon Rim when heading back to Tucson, though not the part of it I'd hoped to explore. We came back on the Coronado Trail, and it is REALLY twisty. At the top of the Rim on the trail there is an overlook that must be really spectacular on a clear day. Unfortunately for us, the top was quite foggy, so we didn't get to see it. Here is the view part way down:


Near the bottom of the descent from the rim, you can get a taste of Arizona rock formations. Here is a picture I took at one of the pull-off areas:


We had heard that Tucson was getting quite a bit of rain. A difficult report to give credence to, until we saw the north side of the Catalina mountains on the north side of Tucson:


Next time, I'll report on what we saw on the other side of the mountains.
