Description

The long-nosed leopard lizard, Gambelia wislizenii, is a relatively large lizard ranging from 3¼ to 5¾ inches (8.2-14.6 cm) snout-vent length (SVL). It has a large head, long nose, and a long round tail that can be longer than its body. It is closely related to the "blunt-nosed leopard lizard" which closely resembles the long-nosed leopard lizard in body proportions, but has a conspicuously blunt snout. They were once considered part of the genus Crotaphytus. The epithet wislizenii is in honor of the German-American surgeon and naturalist Frederick Adolph Wislizenius, who caught the first specimen near Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Description

Island in the Sky is a sheer-walled mesa that constitutes the northern part of Canyonlands National Park. A scenic drive follows the rim of the mesa, with pullouts at vistas where you get amazing views out over the surrounding country, including rugged canyons that have been carved by the Colorado and Green rivers. In many places the surrounding country is 1,000 feet down, virtually straight down, from the top of the mesa.

Description

The pallid-winged grasshopper (Trimerotropis pallidipennis) is a common grasshopper of the family Acrididae, native to the deserts of western North America from British Columbia to Argentina.[2] They are more active during the summer months, and their pale, mottled coloration makes them hard to see against surfaces such as the granite often found in the gravel of dry river beds.[3] They grow to be 37 millimetres (1.5 in).

The smooth sandstone terraces that are traversed enroute to the arches are quite impressive in their own right, and make the entire length of this hike a visual feast. The smooth erosional design of Corona Arch, which has a sculpted appearance, is breathtaking. It’s hard to imagine a more picturesque setting for such an impressive arch.
