November 8, 2014 Carr and Miller peaks Arizona’s 20-20 challenge – 20 diverse and prominent peaks and canyons throughout the state of Arizona. We have hiked the #1 peak – Mt.

Beginning on Finger Rock trail, going into a canyon and up, up, up into the mountains. For having some of the most difficult terrains of any trail around Tucson, the views of the…
