Linda, Bob, and I hiked a 13.5 mile loop utilizing the Technical Loop, Stoneman Wash, Pemberton, Dixie Mine, the South Wash, portions of the Long Loop, and several other smaller washes along the way.

I was about two to three inches away from the tarantula. Had it been a scorpion, I would not have gotten that close.

Looks like a cross between a tarantula and a scorpion!! But I thought it was a tarantula. Thanks for confirming that,.
YIKES!!!

It was a young tarantula, which is maybe why it was hard to recognize. I shot it at a 24mm effective focal length – that wide angle focal length may have also distorted its features just enough to make it confusing.
