Girl in hospital following rattlesnake bite while hiking

A nine-year-old girl remains in hospital after she was bitten by a rattlesnake while in a provincial park east of Calgary.

The girl was bitten while hiking in Dinosaur Provincial Park Friday.

She was airlifted to the Alberta Children's Hospital, where she now remains in stable condition.

It's the third rattlesnake bite the park has seen in the past 12 years.
