This guy is on display at the Writing-on-Stone Visitor Centre so you can see what they look like. This is snake country and the Southern Alberta Rattlesnake can be active at any time of day, however in the heat of the day they will seek any shade they can find. Keep your eyes open watching where you walk and your ears keen to listen for that distinctive and loud RATTLE warning.
Wear proper footwear at all times and stay on the trails.
