Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This looks like a Giant Crab/Huntsman Spider (Sparassidae).

Agree, I might suggest male Olios giganteus,AKA golden huntsman, common in the arid southwest.
In California, they have even been found as far north as Siskiyou County near Oregon border.
I used to find them on the walls of the Palomar observaory.
