Arizona looks beautiful this morning. The Butterfly Trail on Mt Lemmon did not disappoint. 6-24-26. Flowers, berries, birds if you look closely and beautiful Arizona scenery.

☁️ We don't want to pressure this cloud, but Arizona has some pretty high expectations right now as we wait for the monsoon to start on Mt Lemmon, Arizona at Rose Canyon Lake.

Ring Alert: “Motion Detected at Front Door.” Me: Probably a package. Reality: A coatimundi conducting a surprise home inspection. 🏔️ 🏔️ 🏔️ You aren’t in the city anymore when you visit Mt Lemmon.

Super El Niño for Tucson and Mt Lemmon

As all the weather folks are talking about a Super El Niño and lots of rain and snow for Arizona later this year - this has to be one of our favorite Mt Lemmon pictures of one of the snowiest winters in the last 10 years. Chip Beiner (he is 6’5”) ran out of places to shovel snow and could walk onto the roof of his cabin by the end of the winter.
