## Caption

🐍 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.
