July Photo Gallery: Tucson, Arizona

As the temperatures climb here in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, my mind naturally starts to wander back to when we lived for a time in Tucson, Arizona. Ah, at least it’s not the desert, right? Surprisingly, there are summer days when it’s actually hotter here than in Tucson. I’m not sure we expected that.

This gallery features photos mainly from the downtown area of Tucson, including the historic and picturesque Barrio Historico. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound, as well, including the well-known Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.
