Bison are only found on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. They are wild animals and are unpredictable. We recommend maintaining a distance of 100 feet (30 meters) from them, and when they are within 100 feet of the road, it is recommended to view them from inside your vehicle. Please use established gravel or paved pull-outs to park vehicles completely off the roadway (all wheels right of the white line). Do not walk or park in the road. B-roll video by L/Cisneros, July 2022.

B-roll video. Patch-nosed Snake (Salvadora hexalepis). Body length: 20 - 46" Nonvenomous. Eats eggs, lizards, small mammals, insects. Some scientists believe that the distinctive "patch-nose" or enlarged nose scale, is an adaptation for excavating eggs. Patch-nosed snakes are day-active and regularly seen on inner-canyon trails. Look for a fast, tan-colored snake with long stripes. When threatened, they will inflate their body and strike, as this one does at the end of the clip. (24fps, 1080p).
