Brice Canyon Trail, Desert Hot Springs, Coachella Valley, Riverside County, California
It was still sunny outside, I was trying to get up a small hill and when I did I saw this small iguana run past me. I tried my best to not scare it away to take a picture.
I was taking a break because it was hot outside. I notice something moving and curiosity hit me so I went to check it out. Once I got close I saw the snake coming from my direction, it stopped and looked at me, then took off to my right side.
