    Green rocks?! Although the park is mostly filled with red rocks, green rocks can be spotted in certain locations. This green hue is from chemically reduced iron, as opposed to the red color caused by oxidized iron. Have you seen any strangely colored rocks? NPS/Martin Tow

    Meet the long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislizenii).☀️ These sunbathing reptiles are agile animals and have been documented jumping up to two feet in any direction! 😮 They are swift runners and run on their two back legs when they hit peak speeds. ⚡

    Happy American Eagle Day! The bald eagle was chosen as the symbol of the United States in 1782 and is now an American icon. Symbols, like the American eagle, have been important to humans for thousands of years. What symbol would you use to represent yourself? 🦅 NPS/Jim Kaftan
