Back in the desert, the flowers were really popping out. We pulled into Catalina State Park outside of Tucson for a short stay before meeting Andrea and Jeff in town.
The Catalina Mountains are rugged and a hikers paradise.
Hikes ranged from a lazy stroll along the wash to strenuous climbs to alpine mountain pools.
And OH the flowers!!
Ferns in the desert...
Bird nesting in the cholla- protects it from predators
Ohhh the flowers! Incredible photos, thanks for sharing. Just how we remembered AZ in the spring! Yes, the snow is FINALLY MELTING HERE in sunny, downtown Buffalo!
Have fun
