Motionless on the trail ahead, a young rattlesnake -
the smallest we'd ever seen.
and recoil faster than the eye can see.

| Hiking along park trails, it's wise to watch where you put your feet. |

Motionless on the trail ahead, a young rattlesnake - |
|
| Note its size compared to the hair band in front of it. |
|
| Beautiful eyes, skin color, scale pattern. |
|
| Its tiny rattle so clean, it resembled plastic. |
|
| Even tiny rattlesnakes can lunge, strike, and recoil faster than the eye can see. |
|
| We left it basking in the late afternoon sun. |
|
| A reminder: while on park trails, always watch where you put your feet. |
