One of the most exciting parts was the different critters that we’ve encountered on the trip. Along with the canyon, they were certainly able to stop us in our tracks at least once a day. Some were docile, and really didn’t seem to pay any attention to us like the elk and mule deer. Others like the Rock Squirrels have lost their fear of humans, and subsist nearly entirely on handouts. They come out the wood work when you eat outside and beg for handouts. The list below captures all the sightings we have had, but we still don’t have a picture for all of them.
