During hiking to the Refugio Respomuso we found 7 of these venomous snakes directly on trail.

7?! Was it a single day hike? They are beautiful, great shots!

Yes! It was pretty good weather and they all came out to sunbathe in the morning. We actually only found them on the way up because the hike is pretty steep and you have to go slow. On the way down we did not see snakes, but it was also getting dark.
