Wildlife Watching Overview: Grand Canyon National Park
A pair of night-vision glasses would be useful for wildlife watching at Grand Canyon. Because of the hot, dry weather, many animals lay low when the sun is high. Even the lizards and snakes are less active until the temperature along the ground approaches 78 degrees—during summer at least, this too can be nighttime. Although the critters aren't always apparent, the diversity of wildlife makes this a great place for wildlife watching. Because the canyon spans over 6,000 vertical feet of elevation, its species range from 1,000 pound elk on the rims to scorpions on the canyon floor. Although you should never feed or approach any wild animal (including squirrels and ravens), seeing them can be fun.
