These photos were taken on May 17, 2007 at a national observatory on the top of Kitt Peak. Kitt peak has an elevation of approximately 6,800 feet above sea level. It is located in the Arizona-Sonoran Desert on the Tohono O'odham Nation, approximately 55 miles south-west of Tucson. On the day I was there, the temperature at the top of Kitt Peak was 72° Fahrenheit. This was quite a contrast to the 98° Fahrenheit temperature in the desert at the base of the mountain! It was refreshing to get a break from the desert heat!
