A teenager is recovering from a rattlesnake bite she got while hiking with her friend.

The snake bit her Saturday evening in a field near North Ranch Road in Littleton.

The 16-year-old was wearing sandals while hiking when she was bitten on the ankle. She was rushed to Littleton Adventist Hospital, the facility with the largest supply of anti-venom in the metro area.

West metro officials said trails all along the hogback and green mountain are in a rattlesnake zone.

Hikers should wear appropriate clothing while hiking, including hiking boots and long pants.
