A male and female Common side-blotched lizard seen in the middle of reproducing. The female is giving me the 'skink eye.'

The steep ascent along the ridge leading to one of the upper areas of the hike. Scattered sagebrush may be seen dotting the tan landscape.

A view of the jagged ridge near the end of the trail, with a snow capped ridge seen in the distance, fading into the blue sky above.
