I live in gunnison, colorado. It is at 7,700 ft. I work on a house up the road a little bit, probably at 8000 ft, (but still in a valley) and honestly see them every day I am up there. recently the guys road caved in where the irrigation ditch goes underneath, and the garters have been loving that area. found a shed down in that spot today along with a few garters. I still have yet to find any other species in gunnison, but in colorado in general we have 26 species of snakes, just mostly lower in elevation.
