This is a hike right in my area that I rarely do, so I decided to join some friends with the Tucson Hiking meetup group and go up for a look out the window. I had forgotten how tough this rascal is! I had also forgotten how beautiful Ventana Canyon is. Turned out to be a very nice day with light wind on the upper ridge and at the window. But is is always chilly there when I go and by the time our group finished lunch and started heading back, I was freezing! Couldn't wait to get back in the sun again.
