Starting along the Ventana Canyon Trail.




Some nice cliffs within Ventana Canyon.

The trail leaves the watercourse and ascends the west bank. This is a shot back into Ventana Canyon.

Ascending a few hundred feet above and to the left of the watercourse.

Another shot back into Ventana Canyon.

The trail heads into the Ventana Canyon drainage again, now higher up.

Cool sculpted rock along the way.

And some nice trickling water.


Continuing north within the drainage, or just next to it.



The trail was in excellent shape for its duration. Here is only a few hundred feet from the ridge above.

"The Window", seen on the left. Window Peak seen on the right. The trail heads to The Window, then wraps around the south side of the peak, approaching the summit from the southeast (right side in this photo).


Steeper hiking after leaving the drainage, making my way up to the ridge. The Ventana Canyon Trail technically ends and now I'm following the Esperero Trail.

View into Tucson.

Approaching The Window as the trail hugs some cliffs.

View toward Mount Kimball from The Window.

Gorgeous natural arch.

View back toward The Window as I continue along the Esperero Trail.

Wrapping around the south side of Window Peak.

A view east as I approach the base of Window Peak.

Window Peak's summit boulders.

A short maze to find the high point.
