For Wednesday night’s hike, I did a 7.75 mile loop in MMRP.
I saw more critters than normal on Wednesday. I saw a tortoise, a white sphinx moth caterpillar, lots and lots of moths, some of which might have been of the white sphinx variety, two packrats, two rattlesnakes, a scorpion, and a corral snake.

I’m so jealous! I know that is at least the second coral snake you’ve seen here. I’ve never seen one…EVER. Great photos. And yes, the snakes are definitely out after dark now. We did a scorpion hunt here about 2-3 weeks ago and I saw 5 rattlers! Almost a record! Great photos. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, Heather and I saw the other corral snake last summer while hiking near Tom’s Thumb.
