ARIZONA: TUCSON

Two and a half hour drive South of Phoenix, there is a unique city: TUCSON. Danny Gasch, the son of our good friend in Montreal and his family invited us to visit them. The weather was very nice that day, and we went there under the very blue sky. All around the busy citywe saw many high and cactus-covered mountains. After a good lunch in their elegant Golf Club, the gave us a "Royal Tour" in and around the city. We saw the very expensive houses built in the golf courses, and many high up on the side of the mountains. With water bottle in our hand (it was hot) we went in the SUGUARO NATIONAL PARK. Wetook the Canyon Shuttle tour deep inside the park, passing deep canyons, high mountains and three water passages. There were many hiker along the way, some of them with children. Because of the heavy rainfall few days before, the shuttle was not able to drive over other flooded dams.
