While I agree that rattles arent particularly aggressive unless provoked or suprised. Its rather silly to harbor deadly species in such a heavily used public park.

Certainly true, but I get tired of the "no personal responsibility" crowd. Let's face it, biking, rock climbing, swimming, just about any outdoor activity is dangerous. Today it seems you can't even hike in a natural area without a bizilion signs indicating the potential dangers for fear of a lawsuit. You need only 1 sign, "Enter at your own risk". Humans are a smart bunch, they will catch on!

"Enter at your own risk"

I agree, but wouldnt elevate animal status over human status either.
