Here are some pictures I took with Suzi (April 28, 2010) while hiking the Romero Ruins Trail just north of Tucson, AZ. It's a short panoramic walk through rattle snakes and history - see the captions.

We came within 3 to 4ft of stepping on this 3ft rattle snake

What type lizard is this?

Really nice photos, looks like a beautiful hike.

I'm impressed that you almost stepped on a rattlesnake and instead of running back you stop and take a photo...pretty brave
