Tarantula

Spent most of the hike with my head down looking for these giant furry spiders when they are out during their mating season.

Finally found this guy moving along the edge of the trail near the end of the hike.

Good find and excellent image of it Brian. Hope you don't find another one in your backpack when you get home LOL.

Maybe practically harmless but still scary! Glad you found him. Glad I didn’t ☺️ V

Great catch. I've never spotted one hiking and I guess I'm OK with that.

Better than finding it in your sleeping bag!
