We stayed in Tucson on March 13th,  the day before arriving in Phoenix.  I always enjoy seeing the University of Arizona where I spent my freshman year in college.  In the evening we went to Gates Pass for the sunset.  Gates Pass is  between Tucson and the Saguaro National Park and is the place to go to watch the sunset.  Just past the area is the famous movie location Old Tucson and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.    I started chatting with a family as we were taking pictures.  It turned out that the couple with their young daughter were also from Toronto and had traveled the same long route as us.  

We arrived just before sunset. You can see the nice golden colours on the mountain.   

Taken as the sun was setting.

There were a lot of people all over the mountains watching the sunset.  This person was smart enough to bring a coffee.

Here was a couple also enjoying the sunset.

Just about lost the sun at this point.   I really liked these cloud formations.

Just starting to get some nice colours but also losing the detail in the mountains.

The last photos of the evening.
