This area is thickly forested. Moose and, less commonly, bears can be seen if they are near the road; otherwise, wildlife sightings are fairly rare. The road rises up to Mile 9, eventually breaking out of spruce forest and into a low alpine zone of tall bushes and sporadic trees. Moose frequent this stretch during the autumn (mid-August to mid-September). Caribou and bears can occasionally be seen, especially toward Savage River (Mile 15). Mountain-dwelling critters, like marmots, pika and Dall sheep are sometimes seen on Healy Ridge and Mount Margaret.
