Avoiding Rattle Snakes

Now that spring is in full swing and summer is almost hear, check out the new Rattle Snake link to better prepare yourself out there while trail running.


Here is a solid nugget of information to get your brain started:


        "Rattlesnakes are most active in the warmer times of the year—spring through early fall—and many of them are nocturnal during the summer months. When favorable temperatures occur, many rattlesnakes are marginally active even during the winter. You are most likely to see them when the air temperature is between 70° and 90°F (21° to 32°C), regardless of the time of day—be it June or January."  (Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum)
