A few hours after we arrived, Barney, the local herpetologist who owns and maintains the the reptile exhibit in the visitors center, came by to clean one of the cages. We all stepped back to a respectable distance while he removed the two Diamondback Rattle Snakes.
The volunteer we're replacing would leave May 1. We dry camped in the parking lot of the visitors center till then. A little better view than a Wal-Mart parking lot any day.

As part of our training, we visited the Chiricahua Desert Museum. As you can tell, the focus is reptiles.

Today we visited most of the sites we'd be sending guests to. Our first stop happened to be the most spectacular. This view is at the end of an easy 200 yard trail that gets you just above the tree tops. I read somewhere this is considered the Yosemite of Arizona.
