snakes in spring time

Here are some tips you can use to help minimize conflicts with snakes while hiking.



Stick to well-used, open trails.
Avoid walking through thick brush and willow thickets.
Do not step or put your hands where you cannot see.
Wear over-the-ankle boots and loose-fitting long pants.
Watch all snakes from a distance and be aware of defensive behaviors that let you know you are too close.


jpr: when the ground is warm under the sun snakes begin to move!!
