| A Gopher Snake |
About a half mile into our morning hike we encountered a large Gopher Snake. It's coloration suggested Rattler, but it had a narrow head and slender tail (sans rattle). It wasn't too concerned about us, but I convinced it to move off the dirt road for fear somebody would run it over. (See video)
It was a beautiful morning in the Chihuahuan Desert, sunny with a cooling breeze. Not a bad way to start a Saturday.

That snake sure did blend into the desert. Nice video.
