A really nice local family gave us a recommendation and driving directions to get to a good viewing site to watch the ISS. We pulled over just before we reached Temple Canyon and watched the pass from the Southwest to the Northwest to the Northeast. There were a lot of clouds in the sky so we didn't see it until a couple minutes after it rose from the horizon. Three of us were able to watch it for several minutes as it crossed the night sky almost straight above us!
Tucson data: Max at 19:39:27, 59°, -3.3 mag.
