Gates Pass...Sunset and Moonrise, 1/06/2020

Gates Pass is a favorite location to view the sunset in Tucson. We have been here several times, but it is always worth another visit. The beautiful orange hues of the mountains emerge as the sun sets. 

If you look closely at the previous photo, you will see this structure (built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s) where some have gathered to watch the sunset

And the sun begins to set to the west.  And I believe our girl, Sadie, was as mesmerized by the beauty of the moment as we were. 



The orange hues intensify until the sun goes down.




The view to the east from our perch in the mountain pass was yet another color palette...loved the pink and blue!



Once the sun goes down, it can get pretty chilly here in the winter months. Bring a jacket!
