Saguaro (West) National Park

We spent the day relaxing and chilling at the Crusader.

We started the day slowly sitting and enjoying our coffee. Then we headed out and did some shopping.

The last thing we had planned for the day was a visit to the Saguaro West-Tucson Mountain District so we could take the 5 mile Scenic Bajado Loop Drive at Sunset.

On the way there we drove through the Tucson Mountain County Park.

The following are the pictures taken during our sunset drive through the park.

We stopped to watch the sun slip down behind the mountains.
The three pictures on the right. Middle bottom from another stop.
The picture in the upper left was as we exited the park; the
sky was such a vivid blue against the pink clouds.

On the way back, to the Crusader, we stopped at a pull-out in the
Tucson Mountain County park. This was our view as we
ate our dinner. Just before we finished the "lights went out".

 

"Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect."
