Snakes on a trail: Tips for hiking in rattlesnake country
They hunt mice and rodents in darkness because they can sense body heat with special organs on their face. 
What should I do if I see a rattlesnake on the trail?
First, back away. Rattlesnakes aren’t aggressive to humans unless threatened or frightened. They eat mice and rodents and are shy of bigger animals. If they sense you, they will usually try to escape. Give them space to do so.
Don’t wave things at them because that may agitate them. Don’t try to push them off the trail with a stick – that’s often how people do get bitten.
Shouting won’t scare them off either - they don’t have external ears – but they can “hear” really well by picking up vibrations in their jaw and bones. They can sense the impact of feet on ground, which helps them escape before you get there. If they don’t move off on their own, you can try stomping - at a safe distance - to give them the signal.

How far away do I need to be to keep from being bitten?
As a rough rule of thumb, a rattlesnake can lunge about two thirds of its body length. It's a good idea to stay as far as possible from any rattlesnake, aim for at least 10 steps away, to ensure safety no matter which direction the snake moves.
What if it doesn’t move?
If the snake won’t move off the trail, it’s safest to wait it out or turn back. Don’t try stepping over or around it, unless you can bypass it at a safe distance – and watch where you step. Keep an eye on the snake in case it decides to escape your way. When motivated, they can glide fairly quickly.
How dangerous are they?
A rattlesnake bite can cause painful swelling, bruising and tissue damage. Rattlesnake venom can be lethal after several hours if not treated, but bites are rarely fatal because antivenom drugs are so effective. 
The good news is the odds of being bitten by a rattlesnake are low.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Hi I'm very excited about this rail trail and am a regular user of the bizz johnson trail, which is a true gem. I fully support the enhancements and maintenance. I am disappointed that motorized vehicles are authorized, however. In my experience, few will abide the 25 mph speed limit, and the manner in which they are typically driven (always burning out etc.) they cause significant trail damage, ruts, and degradation of the surface. Adiitionally the noise is a stressor for wildlife and people alike. I would advocate for not allowing motorized vehicle usage thank you. Jon Miller - 4/11/2024

I am strongly in favor of maintaining the Mododc Line as regional trail. This trail is a gem and should be kept open and safe for recreation. It provides unparalleled access to the most scenic areas in Northern California and allow recreationists an unmatched wilderness experience. The Lassen Land and Trails Trust has done a great job in securing the trail for a diverse public. I urge the CA Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Rcereation to fully fund this important maintennace project.

This program is amazing. I've lost 3 friends to avalanches and I think everyone who is out in the snow should consider taking a class. We get deep snow in Tahoe and being smart is important. Keep it up! Sean Regan - 3/30/2024

Could not have taken a better avalanche awareness course. Great instruction by passionate teachers and most importantly, it quickly became evident that I had been riding into very unsafe areas before taking the course. Hands down the best thing I could have done to ensure the safety of the people I care the most about while on the snow. I can honestly say these courses saved my life and the ones I ride with. jeb v durgin - 4/1/2024

I took a motorized snowmobile course from the Sierra Avalanche Center this season.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
•I am opposed to man made obstacles being built on the reroute; the Rubicon Trail is not an OHV park •A grant for reroute of this nature should address sanitation and water runoff, as history will show there have been repercussions in the past I am speaking as a user, but I am also an owner in Jeepers Jamboree and Jeep® Jamboree Inc, and I support my company’s comments agreeing to the reroute, IF, Placer County can uphold an easement of the reroute and some of these comments can be addressed. Thank you, James (Bob) R. Sweeney Jr. I James (Bob) R. Sweeney Jr - 5/4/2024

I have been a trail user of the Rubicon since I was a child. In addition, I have been a volunteer on many Rubicon projects that were done to keep the trail open forever. Many of those FOTR projects were funded by the Rubicon Trail Foundation , all in the name of keeping the trail open. This reroute is required to keep the Rubicon Trail open. If a state Geologist says the trail is in jeopardy, then it's in jeopardy and we need to do whatever is necessary to mitigate the problem. I've watched videos regarding, and attended meetings and it's amazing that Tahoe National Forest has partnered with RTF to make a reroute trail that us wheelers would want, and not just a dirt road. I fully support this project. This is what grant dollars are intended to do. Keep trails open. jack whelen - 5/4/2024

While the Rubicon Reroute Project Description states that “All resource and cultural concerns were avoided” without further documentation this statement does not seem complete as the Rubicon Trial is a Historic Cultural Resource, and it will be impacted. Under Evaluation Criteria Q2-C they score the project with 10 points because there are “NO Cultural Resources.” This completely ignores the impact on the historic Rubicon Trail.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
The increase in use comes at an unfortunate time when Inyo National Forest (INF) staffing levels are critically low. Our region is more so hampered by a lack of any housing, affordable or otherwise. The need for grant funding for ongoing operations to maintain existing recreational opportunities and protect our public natural resources is, bluntly, required. The INF has made a tremendous effort to tap into volunteers and non profits to help with the ongoing maintenance but much work is needed and without the funding and support we are all just a bunch of passionate recreational users standing around hoping to make a change. I not only fully endorse the INF efforts on this grant but I encourage the State to approve and fund it. Michael Lueders - 4/11/2024

Please support funding this Grant Proposal. As a Bishop resident and member of the Eastern Sierra 4 Wheel Drive Club, I have seen a large increase in the amount of traffic on our OHV roads and trails. Not everyone accessing our public lands utilizing these roads are experienced and use good judgement. Having roads in good condition helps keep not only the inexperience safe but all those recreating on our public lands safe. Proper monitoring, maintenance and repair of the roads and Forest is also essential for wild fire prevention or fighting. I urge you to fund this Grant. Thank you. Debby Hidalgo - 4/12/2024
