Welcome to Part II of my Catalina Highway, Mount Lemmon Trip Review!
If you like, you can read part I here.
As we headed further up the Catalina Highway, we started to feel hopeful as small pockets of yellow started to peek through the pines.
These are just teasers!
And then, goodness me … yes! How amazing are these carved tree trunks! At first I was dismayed at the damage, but then I began to think otherwise, what do you think?
Check out the beautiful sunlight, peeking through brilliant yellows leaves against an impossibly blue sky. Sigh.
I was thrilled to see oak … I don’t have access to many of these beauties.
and then …
stunning maples … . I may have gasped.
At the top …
It’s so beautiful!
I know, it was a serious photo dump ;) but I hope you’ve enjoyed it!
If you’re thinking of taking this trip, this may be a good place to do a bit of research: Sky Island Parkway .
Thank you for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Oh wow Barb! Indeed too hard to choose which to include. The color is just beautiful. What is the elevation here?
Hi Dorry! Isn’t it beautiful! I think the top elevation of Mount Lemmon is 9,157 feet (2,791 m) …
I always love the contrast between a clear blue sky and the yellow leaves. So beautiful Barb
