I am fully aware and take responsibility for all of this. I still wouldn't say we were "unprepared" because we had a lot of supplies on hand, but in hindsight leaving the trail to reach the helipad was probably a mistake.

unprepared in terms of knowledge and experience.

The rattlesnake was ON the trail.

and the fact that you saw a rattlesnake ON the trail means that there was at least one rattlesnake in the area. and by stepping OFF the trail, you increased your chances of accidentally stepping on one. you were very lucky that you encountered it ON the trail where it was more easily spotted.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
