Mount Lemmon Trail #5

Afternoon hike on the ridges of the upper Catalinas enjoying the cooler air, the abundant red flowers, and hummingbirds. Lots of hummingbirds at the feeders near the gate at the summit in the front yard of the first house. You can't miss them. I think there were a dozen at one feeder at once before they chased each other around. Also, lots of them flying around the Mt Lemmon Trail, as is normal this time of year.

You can tell there has been rain here, with the summit gauge reporting over 4 inches this summer, but not everywhere has had that.
