Filmed on June 30, 2011, near Garden Creek about 50-75 feet from the main park road. This 3-4 foot timber rattler was stretched across the trail just taking in some late afternoon sun. Here, it moves back into the woods while the hiking group I was with comments. The bloodcurdling scream at the start of the clip is genuine.
Kathy - you always bring excitement with you wherever you go! Nice capture!!
