Hiking with Rattlesnakes

We went to upper city creek trails in between conference sessions this afternoon to hike and have a picnic lunch. While we were walking on the trail Clayton said that he heard a snake rattling and that it was scaring him... we looked around a little bit but thought maybe he was just pretending. So we kept walking up the trail and after a little bit we turned around to go back down. On the way back down, when we got to the place that Clayton had talked about the snake Sean happened to look down on the side of the trail and sure enough there was a rattlesnake! Sean used a stick to throw it off the trail and then I ran the heck out of there :) snakes freak me out! Clayton could not stop talking about it all day long!!
