Critters of Joshua Tree National Park

Liz spotted this desert tortoise on the side of the road near the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.

We saw countless lizards in the park. Most were sunning themselves on rocks and were very photogenic


We wouldn't have spotted the above lizard if not for a couple from New Zealand trying to get a photo of it. The only thing more interesting than the scenery in National Parks are the people from all over the world that one can meet.




Western Rattlesnake...Liz and I were hiking on a trail when we came across a guy from England hanging on to the "rattle" part of this snake. He was waiting for his friends to catch up with him on the trail so they could get a picture of it. The sight was quite funny.
