We are home for 6 months and here for 6. We are liking it but know it won't be for a lot longer. It gets tougher as we get older.Niiice, you leave that here year-round, don't you miss it at home?
Have you ever been to Dinosaur National Monument? Rifle Gap is about two hours from there.I was in Rifle Gap SP last week and really enjoyed it. It is in western Colorado and high enough to be cool, but not freezing. Lots of barn swallows flitting about at dusk. Several campgrounds, but I was at full service one and it was great, with paved spots and newer hookups.
Been there several times, and first time was about 40 years ago.Have you ever been to Dinosaur National Monument? Rifle Gap is about two hours from there.
It was a long time ago, but the place gave me a weird feeling where I almost expected to see a dinosaur coming over the hill.
I was there on a motorcycle a good 30 years ago.

I am patiently waiting to see those rattlesnake photos!so of course we had to go find it. It was moving pretty slowly and we got a few photos then left it alone.
Looking forward to the ID!I am patiently waiting to see those rattlesnake photos!
There are 19 species of rattlesnakes in the USA and even more subspecies.
AZ has most of them at 14 different species of rattlesnake.

Which US state did you see it in? What type of habitat? What time? Temp? I want to see if I can guess it right before seeing the photo.Looking forward to the ID!
Close to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. It was around 3pm AZ time and I think in the 80s. Small canyon type environment with trees and sagebrush.Which US state did you see it in? What type of habitat? What time? Temp? I want to see if I can guess it right before seeing the photo.

There is a Watchman Camp in AZ and Utah. I was thinking AZ.Close to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. It was around 3pm AZ time and I think in the 80s. Small canyon type environment with trees and sagebrush.
It was very dark with a vivid yellow stripe. I thought a Wandering Garter snake.See here.

No more of a definite stripe.Yes, it is. The wandering garter snake is the same species, but a different subspecies of the terrestrial garter snake. The Wandering is found in Utah.
The Wandering subspecies is usually more checkered; the "black" and the "stipe" isn't so clear as the "black with yellow stripe".
See here for the subspecies.
