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

Motionless on the trail ahead, a young rattlesnake - the smallest we'd ever seen. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Another reminder. While on park trails, always watch where you put your feet. |
