🐍 Rattlesnakes live here, too. They are a normal part of California’s wildlands, and you can help avoid a dangerous encounter by staying aware on the trail. Before your next hike: ✅ Stay on established trails ✅ Watch where you place your hands and feet ✅ Wear closed-toe shoes ✅ Give snakes plenty of space and take 📸 from a distance ✅ Never try to touch, move, or harm a snake Enjoy the trail. Respect wildlife. Stay safe. #CALFIRE #HikeSafeCalifornia #WildlifeSafety #OutdoorSafety @castateparks
