Rattle Snake Mountain a.k.a Mt. Wantastiquet is part of a four cache series that Backwoodlessons2 and I placed on August 8th 2006. If you’d like to do all four caches at once I recommend starting here at the Madame Sherri Forest parking entrance. To do all caches it is two miles into Mt. Wantastiquet and then of course two miles back. It took us four hours to place all caches and play around a bit. We also bushwhacked for amusement and to see if we could find hidden vistas. I do not recommend bushwhacking due to heavy Rhododendron cover.
Rattle Snake Mountain a.k.a Mt. Wantastiquet alone is 2 miles from the parking area and has the most amazing views of Brattleboro VT!!! Ever since I can remember the locals in the Brattleboro area called this Rattle Snake Mt. The story goes that years ago (who knows how many)the MT was covered with rattle snakes. Then whether by accident or not the mountain burned and they were mostly killed. There have been sightings of snakes but very very rarely a rattler…. Cache carefully!!
If anyone does know the actual true story let me know?? Thanks
