“Instead of just recording reality,
photographs have become the norm for the way things appear to us,
thereby changing the very idea of reality, and of realism.”

I once stood upon a mountain top
And felt the wind that wouldn’t stop
I held a rock forever old
Heard all its stories left untold
It’s cape of green laid out below
The rainstorm coming grey and slow
High above the world I knew
Surrounded by a sea deep and blue
When I climbed down the stone remained
My own life’s story deep ingrained
The thistles prick, the golden sun
The painted hills are all now done
And though I left a piece behind
I took the mountain, in my mind

SCVN Friday Hike on Mt. Lemmon — Images by kenne (Click on any of the images to see slide show.)
Yesterday’s SCVN Friday Hike started at the Ski Valley parking lot where we took the Aspen Draw trail up to the top of the ski runs, then the Mt. Lemmon trail, looping back on the Meadow Trail. Combining these three trails gave us a six-mile hike with an elevation change of 1,200 feet. The hike included a stop of the Lemmon Rock Lookout.
The weather was great, so I was able to get a lot of photos, which I will be sharing, starting with the previous post and some others after this posting.
The SCVN summer hikes on Mt. Lemmon will conclude after the two remaining hikes (August 23 & 30). The SCVN lead hikes are part of our Public Interpretation program, which includes Walks, Hikes, and Demos, designed to help participants learn about and experience the wonders of Sabino Canyon, the Santa Catalina Mountains, and the Sonoran Desert.
