On my final day, I went to Red Rock Canyon.

This group of Bighorn Sheep was out and about.

Creeks are often productive place to visit when in search of reptiles and amphibians. One creek in particular has a decent number of Pacific Chorus Frogs displaying a wide range of colors and patterns. I can spend all day looking at them...and that's exactly what I did. Here are some of the frogs:

I've never seen a butterfly like this one, maybe it's an anerythristic Red Admiral - and worth big bucks.

Eventually my vacation drew to a close. As the sun was setting, I went on one last hike. I turned my attention to some rustling that I heard under a creosote bush and saw the telltale pattern of a nice "desert phase" California Kingsnake.

It was a great way to end the trip.
