Re-reading the book that inspired me 40 years ago to get outdoors and begin to explore the desert Southwest. About a third of the way into "Desert Solitaire" to see how it holds up after time. So far it's holding its own and inspired me to just do a simple hike where I went slow and took in the sights. Poked around up Ventana Canyon up to the Maiden Pools, took a bunch of pictures and headed back down.
