We went for a hike this afternoon and had a good time. That is until we reached the turn around point and a gal jogged past us and said, “Watch out for rattle snakes, they’re out pretty heavily this season.” Thanks. I feel really good about taking my family back down the trail with that sort of warning. Upon arriving safely back at the car I saw a sign on the back side of the information sign warning about bears and mountain lions in the area. I think they could at least warn you about snakes, bears, mountain lions and odd runners!
You should go back up there, and glue like 20 rubber snakes to your legs, and casually walk down, and tell everyone that the snakes are out heavy this year.
