On the 3rd day we visited the Living Gardens Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park just north of Carlsbad. |

Most of he Saguaro desert cactus was also in bloom with big white flowers on top. |

We drove up to the 8,000' Mount Lemon for a nice hike. It was 26 F. cooler up there with pine trees and some flowers. |

Was a 1 hour drive up, but worth it. |

The road was very curvy. I would not bring the 5th wheel up here. |
