Generally, snakes don't want to be any nearer to us than we want to be to them. I have lived out here for 15 years now and have tromped around out in the wilds quite often. But I did not see a single rattler until last year, when I saw two: a big ass Mohave out here in the freaking housing development where I live and a timber rattler up north in the mountains around Sedona. Generally if you stay out of caves, rocky areas, and bush areas where they like to hide or get cool, you won't see them much. Also, it depends upon the time of day. They are more active in the early morning or late evening I'm told.
