Big Bird
I do a solo hike from the rebuilt Paria movie set to Starlight Arch. I choose to climb up the east end of the plateau and return off the south side.
Just before I crest the east end on the way up, an extremely large bird flies low overhead. Condor? It had a much longer wing span than even adult eagles. Very cool!
Starlight Arch turns out to be only a class C arch but it was nice country to explore. A fast approaching snow storm made me leave the area sooner than I had planned.
