Great Basin Western Rattlesnake

This young rattler came towards me vs slithering away. This appears as a curious move, but it is considered an aggressive action. She (guessing) never rattled and appeared calm. But if you approached her, she approached you. Great Basin Western Rattlesnake, Snow Canyon, UT, October, 2007

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."" --Rene Daumal
