Hiking on Mt. Lemmon

Lewis is definitely a mountain dog. After spending nearly a month in a half in the desert, we took Lewis for a hike in the mountains. As the desert heats up with each passing day, Mt. Lemmon remains at a chilly 50 degrees. We parked the car and Lewis jumped out and went to town marking the pine tree, taking a dump, and scratching the ground. He was scratching so hard he was getting air. I think this is his way of communicating that this is where he belongs. 

A couple hours later everyone was exhausted. It was a great day.
