Wildlife Small wildlife + nature
Marmots, pikas, ground squirrels, beavers, river otters, and dozens of bird species. Wildflowers blanket the valley June through August.
Behaving in nature
- Stay on trail
- No picking
- Keep snacks sealed
- Pack out everything
If you encounter one
Observe quietly
Sit still. Wildlife resumes natural behavior in minutes.
Never feed
Human food shortens lifespans and increases aggression.
Watch your step
Pikas, ground squirrels, and ground-nesting birds use trails too.
Report injured animals
