Collared Lizard

Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), Rabbit Valley, Mesa County, Colorado. There are several subspecies, this one apparently the Yellow-Headed Collared Lizard.

 

We visited Rabbit Valley, located in far western Colorado less than two miles from Utah, to hike the Trail Through Time. The trail is located in a rocky, treeless desert, and is famous for its Jurassic dinosaur and plant fossils. But for us, it seemed more like a playground for lizards.
