I wish I could have gotten more drone footage on this trip, but national parks are no fly zones. I have a great time at this lesser visited parks. Having two national parks only 30 minutes away from each other is a treat.

tarantula! how cool. Nice touch. Didn't use any of the follow features. Was that becuase you were in a Nat'l Park at the time? Well done regardless. Looks like it took some serious hiking.

such a big close up of the spider coming out from the rock had me reeling away from my screen. Other than that
I really enjoyed it.

Very cool. I'd be worried about that jaunty hat blowing away!

You are correct. I, unfortunately, wasn't able to get closer drone shots when I was on the hike because we were in the national park. There could have been some great aerial shots inside the park, for sure.

Very nice. Also one of those who would have liked to see more air footage but it is what it is.

As an owner of about a dozen tarantulas I really enjoyed that footage. I believe it was a Texas Brown tarantula, but you can do a search online to make sure if you so desire. And as it is still likely mating season, I would guess it is a male, trying to fulfill it’s main and last purpose in life, making baby tarantulas.
