Description

Rattlesnake Cave is a day-use site and not open for camping. The overhung wall displays and impressive collection of pictographs. To ensure you don't miss it, use the higher upstream pull in and walk down along the shoreline on river right. An alternate pull-in is an option closer to the pictographs but it requires a precise ferry from where the main flow is on river left over to a small landing on river right.
