A short hike is located just outside the campground to get to an overlook view of Tower Fall. 7.5 miles (12 km) south of the campground, another 5 mile (8 km) trail leads to a lookout at Mt. Washburn. The Lamar Valley, one of the major summer grounds for bison and elk that attracts predators like wolves and grizzly bears, offers excellent opportunities to Watch Wildlife. Elk, bison, deer, and pronghorn thrive in the grasslands of this area, known as the northern range. In fact, some of the largest wild herds of bison and elk in North America are found here. The northern range is critical winter habitat for these large animals, which in turn provide food for several packs of wolves. Coyotes are also common, and occasional bobcat, cougar, or red fox are reported. The gorge and cliffs between the junction and Tower Fall provide habitat for bighorn sheep, osprey, peregrine falcons, and red-tailed hawks. Both grizzly and black bears are sighted throughout the area, particularly in the spring. Black bears are more commonly seen around Tower Fall and Tower Junction. Grizzlies are sometimes seen in the Lamar Valley and on the north slopes of Mount Washburn, particularly in the spring when elk are calving. Road pullouts provide excellent places from which to watch wildlife. Nearby Attractions Highlights in the area include the Tower Fall overlook, Mount Washburn, the Lamar and Yellowstone Rivers, and the Lamar Valley for wildlife viewing.
