If there was a blogger yearbook, I think I'd be labelled as "most inconsistent." Oops. But whatever, I have good reasons. Most bloggers don't post when they're on vacation, period, and then a few hours after I got off the plane, I got struck down with the dreaded stomach flu. I'm feeling better now, but I have so much school work to catch up on that I still might be a bit absent in blog-world for a while. Bear with me, y'all.
Anyway, these pictures are from last week when my dad and I took a drive up Mount Lemmon Highway (also known as Catalina Highway, Sky Island Scenic Byway, Arizona Forest Highway 39, and, last but definitely not least, General Hitchcock Highway). It's a one hour drive that starts at Tucson's desert floor and climbs over 6,000 ft until you nearly get to the summit of Mount Lemmon (the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains). We stopped in Summerhaven (see map), which is at the top, and then pulled off at Windy Point (yellow star on map). We watched some guys rock climbing (like, real rock climbing. Not the fake rock climbing I did on my birthday) and walking across a rope in between two peaks. I also trekked through some rough terrain in heels and kicked that rough terrain's rough azz. Seriously, if you ever find a pair of Doc Martens sandals, buy them. They are amazing.

You hike in heels too?! I did that a couple weeks ago! Go us! :D I am obsessing over those sandals of yours. They're like, perfect. I'm so glad you got over that stomach flu! Catching up on school work is even more horrible though, and I sincerely hope you survive.

Climbing in heels...true fashion queen...love it!! That dress looks great on you!!
ReplyDeleteI took a tour of Alcatraz in really high wedges. That was, um, fun. Especially since the hills there are crazy steep. I sort of forgot to pack flat shoes on that trip. And I think the dress makes you look very bad-ass!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sorry to hear you've been sick. I had the flu myself and pretty much wanted to die. Fun.
Awesome Arizona photos! I don't think the dress is too sack like on you, it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're over the icky bug, I hate those, they are the worst!!
You look so freakn' cute! Love the dress and the sandals are great too. But those sunglasses need to find their way into my life.

ReplyDeleteLOVE those sunglasses. They have such a great shape.
ReplyDeleteThose are Docs? They're awesome! And I love your dress, looks great on you!

these shots are stunning. The location is gorgeous but I know if I tried to hike it I would be looking for snakes the whole dam time. I sort of felt the same way about that dress. It just looked odd on me.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures look straight out of a magazine editorial! For reals. It's like the ones where they're all, "Hey, I'm hiking through the wilderness but still looking freaking amazing no big deal." Oh, and I'm becoming obsessed with your little polaroids and maps and designing skills. You rock.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, totally dreamy.
