Be on the lookout for snakes. I saw this one on August 25 while hiking Devils Slide Trail in Idyllwild. I’ve come across this mountain rattlesnake before.

They don’t rattle, at least every time I’ve come across them. I’m sure if you aggravate it, you may get it to rattle, but who wants to do that. This snake just crossed the trail and kept going. And that’s fine with me.
