Cactus Rock Trail

Almost stepped on this guy. Looked down, heard the rattle, jumped back as he coiled up. Decided to turn around and go back the way I came.

Took the Cactus Rock Trail, up near the top where the trail is open, I encountered a large rattlesnake on the trail. We were both quite surprised, and I decided it was best to turn around and go back the way I came.
