My dad walking in a meadow near Arizona Snowbowl while we were on a hike during their recent visit from Minnesota to Flagstaff. 
 
 
 
            
        
          
        
          
        
I found this guy crossing the trail while I was on a walk with my parents while they were visiting. After talking to several people at work, it seems that the tarantulas are out in force around here lately.  I wonder if it's their mating season.
Here's a picture of the same tarantula with my shoe for scale.  Not huge, but big enough for me.
