Driving in Arizona

Driving in Arizona (and I spent about 12 hours travelling between several towns during this trip), is impressive. There are mountain ranges everywhere. These are the Santa Catalinas (Catalinas for short), which sit to the north of Tucson, and we lived just south of them. They also house Mt Lemon which has a ski resort - not Utah, but still skiable.


It felt wrong to be able to drive at 75mph legally, but it makes life easier as it shrinks the distances between the cities. It also has the effect that few people speed (most are travelling under 80mph), so traffic flow is smoother.
