Snow on Mt. Lemmon


From the foothills surrounding Tucson, Mt. Lemmon looks for all the world like a big bundt cake, sprinkled white with powdered sugar. The University of Arizona SkyCenter is located at altitude level 9,157 foot on Mt. Lemmon.

If you look carefully from the tallest saguaro cactus in the lower left, almost straight up the photo, you can see a white structure that might be a part of SkyCenter on top of Mt. Lemmon. Last weekend's winter storm brought snow to higher elevations in the southwest and produced these snow capped mountains.
