This was a truly rare and exciting display of nature for several folks on the trail! As long as I've lived in the
canyon (and in life!) I've never witnessed anything in nature more hypnotic as the battle dance between
these 2 Rattlers Sunday Sept. 2, 2012! Fortunately my hiking companion ran back fast to my place to
retrieve my camera! :) Other hikers were reporting that they had witnessed the battle over an hour before
we had arrived! When we returned after dark the battle must have concluded since nothing was visible in
that spot. It did appear the weaker reptile was close to defeat and, as shown in the video, had tried to
escape from his opponent!
