Almost stepped on this 3+ ft. Rattlesnake tonight while in the parking lot by Redrocks amphitheater! Thank god he rattled to warn us. I never was a fan of snakes and this just reinforces my haterid of them. I was about 2 ft. away when my wife and I heard the tail rattle. My wife jumped first and yelled "snake", and I was right behind her in the running department!
