Title: Is rattlesnake mountain open for hiking (yet)?
Post by: HunterStrait on November 26, 2014, 02:27:16 PM: I have been hearing rumors it was being opened for tourism/hiking, but that was about a year ago.
Anybody know anything?

The bill was signed into law at the end of December. Unsure if USFWS has opened it yet.
