SH is one busy bee, trying to manage both work and school in Tucson--so unfortunately she couldn't come with me out to Chiricahua National Monument, where she used to work. But after hearing so much about it while she was out there, I had to check it out for myself, and boy was it worth the trip. Gorgeous hoodoos and amazing views on the hike I took. And (not pictured) I even got to see a coatimundi (they survive isolated on the "sky island" of Chiricahua, which is at a far higher elevation than the surrounding desert) scamper across the road as a drove out of the park at dusk! Just beautiful.
