Hiding in Plain Sight

My brother was up visiting for the weekend and I took him to a few new places that he hasn't been to before. This morning, we hiked into the 3 waterfalls that my town has to offer, you'd never think we would have them and they would have so much water flowing through them, but right now is the best time to view them. We hiked up to the top waterfall and I was scanning the cliffs, looking at the holes in the rock, when my eyes met a Pack Rat. I pointed it out to my brother, who wondered how I ever found it, but there it was, staring back at us. I think it was curious of my dogs, but they were on leash, and the rat was far away, and inside a hole in the cliffside.
