Day 34. Descending Mt. Lemmon

Mile 602 – Summerhaven To Mile 620 – Stealth

Leaving the top of My. Lemmon felt like going back in time. We were in a pine forest with peak fall colors. There were sounds of a flowing stream and birds chirping in the trees. It is difficult to comprehend that yesterday we were freezing in snow and the day before we were baking in the desert.

Today we’ll descend back to the desert where we’ll start heading toward the next sky island in Saguaro National Park.
