Rattlesnake Ledge — Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026

Fun way to celebrate turning 73!  I've included a 4min video of highlights below..

Trail, parking, weather: all perfect!

Crowds: only a few dozen by midday

Scenery: spectacular epiphyte covered boulders in lower section, a beautiful new upper trail section built by WTA recently and incredible views from the ledges.  I stayed on the lower ledge today.  Enjoyed watching a bald eagle fish the lake far below.
