Cotalpa lanigera and Polyphylla decemlineata
Two scarab beetles I found under a rocky outcropping near a creek. One is gold and the other is gold/cream striped.

Those certainly look like the ones! Thanks! I will update my entry.

Scarabs are such pretty beetles, aren't they?
The one in the front looks a lot like a Goldsmith Beetle, Cotalpa lanigera :

The striped one might be a Ten-lined June Beetle, Polyphylla decemlineata:
