James San Jacinto Mountains Reserve

Must attend orientation by Manager and obey all rules of the reserve. Be aware of rattlesnakes, bees/hornets, and irritating plants. Keep in mind that rattlesnakes are not out to bite you, they are more concerned with protecting themselves. If you see a snake or hear one rattle, immediately stop. Once you know where the snake is and how far away it is from you, the best reaction is to back away slowly.  If you have allergies to insect bites/plants, be sure to make your instructor and the reserve personnel aware of this.
