Hikers Beware: Rattlesnakes Are Awake And Leaving Their Dens

By Howard Nathan
DENVER (CBS4) – Rattlesnakes are active this time of year, but there are steps people can take to make sure they don’t get bitten.
CBS4’s Howard Nathan went to the Denver Zoo to get a close look at a rattlesnake. They’re out there on hiking and biking trails. It didn’t take long to find people on trails in Jefferson County to give their snake encounter stories.
