He noticed us and backed up a couple of feet to the edge of the grass but was still on the trail more or less. He wasn't using his rattle or looked agitated in any way but he was keeping an eye on us. Taking a detour around the snake would have been impossible because of the tall grass and possibility of more snakes. Returning the way we came is a possibility but it's backtracking another three miles uphill basically.
My question to you snake experts, should I have tried and shooed it away into the grass? I could have waited it out but who knows how long it'll just sit there. What is the best course of action?

I would have pulled out my massive penis. Everyone knows rattlesnakes are scared of bigger snakes.
