TUCSON, Ariz. — While a record-breaking 2.9 million travelers were screened at U.S. airports this past Friday, many Tucsonans opted for a more serene Memorial Day experience at Mount Lemmon.
Pete Krauss, a dedicated volunteer at Mount Lemmon, noted the unexpectedly sparse turnout. “It’s pretty quiet,” Krauss said. “I expected big crowds but there’s parking places all over the place.” Among those who chose the peaceful retreat was Pedro Valenzuela, who brought his telescope to share views of solar flares with fellow visitors.
