View of Rattlesnake Lake from Rattlesnake Ledge

Tip by

The trail to Rattlesnake Ledge is popular, but with good reason: The views from the first ledge are incredible. If you're feeling inspired, there are two more ledges — Middle Rattlesnake Ledge and Upper Rattlesnake Ledge — which offer even better views without the crowd.
