Great snake! Please be sure to add this to the Snakes of the United States – CSC mission to help with their citizen science project! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12027210

Nice photo! Based on the location information and field marks, this should be a terrestrial garter snake. Consider adding this spotting to Snakes of the Southwest: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12491282
