Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway.

If you are observant (and maybe a bit lucky) you may see bobcats, mountain lions, bald eagles, badgers, and porcupines. Although not native to the area, Rocky Mountain elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats now make their home here.

Watch for shy rattlesnakes on your walks ~ they don't like to be startled. Along the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, our traffic jams are a little different. Because of the abundance and visibility of wildlife, you may occasionally find yourself in a "Goat Jam, a "Bison Jam," or a "Tourist Jam."
