Chisos Basin

Well above the desert floor we headed off on the signature mountain hike to the Window. The trail switchbacks down open desert terrain then through the ever narrowing canyon cut by Oak Creek to the point of its exit from the canyon, a magnificent slick rock pour-off.  Through the pour off we were treated to an impressive view of the desert below.  We made this hike our last visit.  Today we extended it to check out an even wider panoramic view from a shelf along Oak Creek Trail just a bit above the pour-off.  It was worth the extra bit of elevation gain.
