Suggest finding out when the best time to view wildlife. We got very close to a mule deer doe grazing just 10 feet off of a paved trail. That was an awesome experience. Took pics and video. The mules are not at all shy at coming up to your car and saying hello. But keep the windows rolled up just in case.

You need to look for the wildlife and ask at the Wildlife Visitors Center to get up to date info on where the most likely places are to spot the wildlife.
