Autumn is in the air
garter snake
At this time of the year, the Garter Snakes come out on the trail to try and soak up the sun. They are trying to warm up their cold-blooded body. They are very lethargic because they are cold. They can’t move very fast and it takes a lot of energy to make quick moves. It’s a risk for the snakes to come out in the open in this way as it makes them easy prey for migrating hawks.
