Narcisse Snake Pits - Picture Day
About an hours drive north of Winnipeg is a unique place called the Narcisse Snake Dens. Each year tens of thousands of red sided garter snakes come out of their winter dens located here and for a few short weeks the ground is literally covered in them. Manitoba has a lot of limestone and as it turns out the subterranean caverns left behind as spring melt runs through the rock is the perfect place for these snakes to den in over the winter months. No where else in the world that is home to such large numbers of these snakes and it is quite the sight to see.
