christmas hike

I continue to be amazed by the fabulous, beautiful weather in Tucson this holiday weekend. With highs in the 70s (and threatening 80s) all weekend, it’s unseasonably warm — even for Tucson. But it’s made for some gorgeous days, and today I wanted nothing more than to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and fantastic desert scenery with a hike in Sabino Canyon.

The hike ended up as a pre-Christmas-Eve-dinner family affair, as Ashley, my parents and I drove out to the park for a pre-sunset stroll. With about 45 minutes of daylight left, we took to the Nature Trail to snap photos and soak up the surroundings. It was so beautiful out, and I only hope that next year (Mom has suggested making this an annual tradition) we’ll arrive even earlier, so we can explore even more of the canyon.
