References to Harry Potter and Hogwarts aside, the Southwestern US has a large number and species of snakes. I was driving the dirt road on the seldom seen, seldom hiked east side of the Rincon Mountains when I came across a Sonoran Coachwhip "slithering" across the road. Unlike most other snakes I have come across this one climbed a tree, slithering around in the tree and then coming right back at me. At roughly nine feet in length this was a pretty amazing sight to see. I had to back away in order to get my camera to focus properly.
