The Chinese New Year is Jan. 29, and 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Snakes are a symbol of wisdom. They’re also abundant in the Highland Lakes, so be wise before you head out on a hike and get to know the slithering creatures that might cross your path.
It’s the Year of the Snake—watch out on the trails
The coral snake. While you can't always go by the rhyme 'red and yellow kill a fellow,' it's best to keep clear of its venomous bite.
