Above ~7,100 ft in elevation
Not entirely sure how to tell the difference between S. audubonii and S. holzneri in this instance. But I am leaning toward holzneri based on elevation and my recollection that this rabbit struck me as moving a bit differently than other cottontails I saw on trail--like its back legs were oversized and their motion emphasized. Unfortunately, the lighting situation and my not-so-great photos make it difficult to differentiate according to nape color, not that I really could do that anyway...The shorter ears relative to the body and head size (at least in my estimation) also make me think holzneri, but I'm no rabbit expert, just a curious observer!

May be the species endemic to the Park but I don't have the key handy at this time.

Wikipedia, Kew's Plants of the World Online, and SEINet all recognize this variety as Cercocarpus breviflorus, which in iNat is currently an "Inactive Taxon"
UPDATE: iNat will make a taxon change to C breviflorus

Acanthocephala thomasi, a frequent visitor this time of year. The head has structural reinforcement, illustrated in a previous specimen, presumably to provide mechanical strength for piercing agave.
