Snakes in Sedona’s Red Rock Country

June 29, 2012 by Denise Traver

Looking for something unique and interesting to do? Why not check out the Forest Service’s “Live Snakes of Arizona” program at the Red Rock Ranger Station on July 7th and 8th. There will be informative exhibits, and Russell Dunn and Karen McClelland will be handling snakes during live presentations. The programs will be held from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on each day.

The Red Rock Visitor center is located at 8375 State Route 179, one mile south of the Village of Oak Creek. For more information, please call the Red Rock District at (928) 203-2900 or go to www.redrockcountry.org.

Also, if you are interested in snakes and other reptiles of Arizona, I highly recommend checking out this wonderful site: The Reptiles and Amphibians of Arizona.
