Lions, Scorpions, and Bears OH MY!!! a.k.a. the Mountain Climb...

So two weekends (wow, time flies) ago, we drove 12 hours to go and climb the mountain range Big Bend, and in that range, I climbed all the way to the highest peak (Emery's peak) with other interns that were up for the climb. Let me recap the trip in a short version through some pictures :) First we drove 12ish hours to our camping spot in the middle of the desert and nowhere (seriously). Here is the view of where we stayed in tents:

This was from the bottom of the hill in the distance---->

The two pictures are from the bottom of the hill where we camped, one picture is from the top view of the hill, and the pile of scat/feces/#2 is also on top of the hill... I took a picture cuz these piles were everywhere up there and I kept wondering what kind of animal does these huge piles---I put my shoe next to it so you could see how big it is (and this was a medium sized pile) Lion? Goat? Elephant?--no. Bear? you tell me.
