Description
Join me at Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area to search for the elusive rattlesnake after which this area was named. I have never seen one yet but "hope springs eternal". Maybe this will be the time, unless it has already joined it friends in their winter hiberculum. Meet in the LOWER parking lot at 9:45 am. for a 10:00 am. (If the lower lot is closed already, park in the upper lot. Bring water, a snack/lunch and hiking poles if using. Expect one long, steep hill down and another more gentle hill going up. We will hike north and then take the Leech Porter side trail down to rejoin the main trail heading south and then up and returning via a side trail to the parking lot. Great views over the escarpment towards Crawford Lake. Two back to back reservations required to complete this hike. I suggest the first at 9:40 am.
