Skull Rock Trail
Wood Rats
Wood rats (Neotoma sp.) are attracted to shiny, metallic objects but will frequently drop them to pick up something brighter. Three different native species occur here, All build untidy-looking nest of Joshua tree bark, cactus spines, cholla stems, and anything else they can find.
