  • Rattler! (video)

    Mat Honan found one of Yosemite’s more nefarious inhabitants while hiking in the park, a rattlesnake.

    Rana and some friends happened to be backpacking when the wet and wild weather came in this past week during which time Rana took the opportunity to grab a few awesome shots with his camera. I really like the way Rana used the tree limbs to frame the image. What a great shot. Hey if…
