Hitting the trail

Early this February, I spent several days in Tucson, Arizona, where my dad was born and most his family still lives. We always try to spend one day hiking up a mountain. This year, we chose Pusch Peak, a fairly simple three-mile hike. There's a 3,000 foot elevation gain and plenty of cactus, but it's not too difficult to do in winter, when the temperature is still below 70 degrees.
