Grouse hen. These birds can take you by surprise as they often wait to the last minute to fly away and they fly away with a sudden loud flourish of wings beats.

Looking south-east on the descent near the west end of the trail. The trail is quite faint. Fire was in 2018.
View from Lower Bench Trail looking west towards Utah. Fire was in 2018.
Hera Buckmoth caterpillar digging a hole from where it will emerge later this season as a moth. Quite alien looking with its yellow circles and its spiky spines.

Wild rose bushes flourish along the trail.
