We had it on good authority that the best place to see a wild grizzly bear would be Dead Indian Summit.
Only a 40 minute drive from downtown Cody, it’s worth the trip for a chance to see some wildlife.
A nice easy drive on a good highway. Right when we got to the summit / scenic-view pulloff another visitor told us someone saw a grizzly down the road just a few minutes before.
We looked around with binoculars and ventured a teensey bit around, but after 30 minutes we gave up and went home sans any bear sightings. We did see a few pronghorn antelope in the distance, but nothing particularly exciting.
Actually, the abundance of ground squirrels and chipmunk-like critters were the most entertaining wildlife we saw today.
Still, the scenic views alone were worth the drive.
