Here is a Sagebbrush Lizard, a rather common lizard all across the west. This one was photographed along the Lost Canyon trail in Canyonlands National Park, Utah.

We saw and photographed these Yellow-backed Spiny Lizards in the Indian Gardens area of Grand Canyon, while hiking the Bright Angel Trail. There was a picnic area and building there where we had our lunch before hiking the five miles and three thousand feet of elevation back to the rim of the canyon. We thought the male, the larger reptile in the back was courting the female.

This Lizard, the Great Basin Fence Lizard, had several different varieties in Joshua Tree National Park but is easily identified by the blue throat, just visible in this photo.

This is the Side-blotched Lizard of the southwestern deserts, a very common reptile which we saw in a number of places but photographed in Joshua Tree National Park.

This is a Side-blotched Lizard, a very common reptile of the southwestern deserts. This was photographed in the area of Keyes View in Josahua Tree National Park, but we saw them in a number of locations.

Photographed near Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree National Park we watched these two lizards, a Side-blotched Lizard and a Western Fence Lizard, fighting. Neither appeared to be injured but they certainly were not having a fridenly tussle.

If I have the ID correct this is the Desert Spiny Lizard photographed at Warm Springs Camp where we spent the fifth night of our Death Valley trip. Do not let the word "camp" mislead you, however. The camp is abandoned and the buildings dilapidated and we slept in our car.
