There were two climbers located next to Fisher’s Tower (a cylindrical rock formation) in Hells Gate National Park, who offered the opportunity to passing tourists to climb the tower. While waiting for customers, the locals sat around, feeding and playing with the numerous rock hyraxes that were in the area. When the climbers went off to recheck their roping, one of the hyrax hopped up on the picnic table and started rooting through their bags (as pictured). Reminded me a lot of the Kea (alpine parrot) that would search bags and vehicles on the way to Milford Sound in southern New Zealand.
