Please be aware that there are dangers on the Dome Trails such as pygmy rattlers, and water moccasins. These snakes are not aggressive but will defend themselves if they are about to be stepped on. It’s a good idea to use a stick to poke under and around things when you are looking. If you see one of these snakes, leave it alone and it will move on. You are too big to eat and they do not want any part of you. Fire ants are present and you should watch where you are standing. They will make you very uncomfortable for a while.
