The sense of relaxation on this hike is palpable!

Yes, there is a great deal more relaxation that comes with this bolder attitude. There is confidence and more trust in the situation, when being less concerned with covering up at every bend. Then, when there is reasonable certainty that no one is around for miles, the perceptions of the world's imperfections fall away completely. We are absolutely free. Then, when nature provides a piece of paradise, a comfortable rock, breeze and shade, dang! Gratitude!
I plan to go back, do Baby Jesus, maybe from the Catalina State Park trail. I'd like to explore further up that canyon, too. Maybe a backpack overnight, when the water comes back. Maybe downhill naked all the way from the top of Mount Lemmon. It is a rugged rocky trail, requiring 4x4 to get back in there to the best of the stuff without trudging through a mutilated and unremarkable desert foliage for an hour or more first. Great free range, no backup required playground. It is not a popular trail, or easy to find without directions.
