Go east on Rio Bravo from I-25. Turn south on University Boulevard and follow it up the hill. You can park at the top and walk down carefully. There’s traffic.

Completed in 2007, the pair (one near Rio Bravo Boulevard, the other at the Mesa del Sol entrance) consist of hollow cylinders dotted with cobblestones that, a few biologists have carped, don’t match true rattler colorations.

 

You can take the freeway exit, drive along the snake, make a U turn, and return to the freeway in just a few minutes. Well worth the diversion.

The stone rattlesnake sculpture, created in 2007, was designed for the waterless median by the architects of Antoine Predock, consulting to Molzen Corbin Engineering, assisted by Crossno Structural Engineers.
