This snake refused to leave the main road into Picketwire Canyon and instead performed its best Rattlesnake imitation by hissing and striking at me. When I walked toward it, instead of peacefully sliding off the road, it would coil and strike. I finally used my camera strap and holding on to the camera, I lowered the strap over its upheld coils and carried it to the safety of the roadside. Its Rattlesnake performance was impressive, and for that I would like to nominate it for best actor in the role of a pit viper.
