One of my fondest memories of observing a wild garter was when I was with my hiking group. We stopped for lunch and I found a garter snake sun bathing on a large rock.
I tried to keep a low profile so that the garter wouldn't be frightened by my presence. I sat down next to the garter to eat my lunch. The garter stayed on the rock sun bathing the entire time I was there.
What made this experience better is usually when I find garters they are quickly fleeing.
The best way to actively search for and find garters tends to be to uncover their hiding places, which results in them quickly fleeing.
