Arizona Treks

Phoenix is an odd place compared to the rest of the country, at least those parts not in the Southwest.  We have wonderful weather in the winter but miserable hot in the summer.  We tend to do things in the desert in the winter and head up in the mountains in the summers. When we were planning our summer trip this year I knew it would make the summer much less tolerable for me.  It is so nice taking a couple of weeks in the middle of the summer to have a break from the heat.  I want to shoot a bit but am not willing to go face the heat and since I converted the studio into a darkroom a year ago, I have no place inside here to shoot.  The marathon printing project is complete and now I am ready to shoot some more.

What do you shoot in the summer?  Do you go to the mountains, take a vacation, stay inside, or do you put your camera down for the season?  Where do you go in the mountains?  Flagstaff, Prescott, Payson, White Mountains?  Ot do you head over to San Diego for weekends?
