Ventana Canyon Tucson Hike

A beautiful day for a hike, we explored Ventana Canyon today in Tucson, AZ. It’s a good time of year for a hike with blooming flowers, water in the stream, lots of little critters and a very comfortable 77 degrees.
We almost mistook a snake in the path for a shoelace. It was so still, we had time to take out the camera and get some decent photos before it leisurely slithered away.
We also saw evidence of a desert fire as well as a whole cactus arm that had fallen.
We would have loved to stay and explore more, but Chris was having an issue with the soles of his hiking shoes coming unglued. They were making a clop clop clopping sound like horse hooves on pavement.
