Hiking in the beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert is always a pleasure. However, all of us need to remember that there are reasons for caution on any trail. This morning along the Lower Sunset Trail, a merry band of Sunrise Hikers came upon a black tailed rattlesnake. The reptile had just struck a pack rat when group leader, Jim Tolbert, just about stepped foot on it.
There are appropriate measures to take to protect from or treat snake bites.
