(hisses) So reaching for a Gila monster
that's gaping at you with its mouth open is kinda
like reaching into a car window with a Rottweiler snapping
and barking at you. It's not very bright. NARRATOR: He's right. When you pack your backpack
for a Gila hike, make sure you save room
for your common sense. We're heading from the Arizona Desert
to the grasslands of Nebraska, pretty much smack dab
in the middle of the country to take part in one heck
of a feathered spectacle. This is the greater prairie chicken. (prairie chicken booming) Pretty standard fowl at first glance. But next April, head to Burwell, Nebraska for the annual Prairie Chicken Festival and prepare to be blown away
