There are also numerous dispersed campsites along the Byway where individuals can pull off and picnic or camp. These sites have few or no developments and are used as overflow areas when the established campgrounds become full, or by individuals who want to rough it and get away from developed areas. Pull outs and interpretative sites are being planned for the Byway and some are in the process of being constructed. These sites will provide an historical overview of the area, explain its ecology and geology, and elucidate past and present forest management practices. Wildlife such as moose and deer can be seen along the Byway as well as an occasional elk.
Most wildlife is observed early in the morning or late in the day.
Fishing for brook trout, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout is available in the Wise River and many of the smaller side streams. Most of the trails along the Byway are well maintained. Many of these trails lead hardy hikers, backpackers and stock users into high elevation lakes deep in the heart of the East and West Pioneer Mountains. The road and parking spurs in the campground are graveled. Parking spurs are designed for trailers up to eighteen feet long.
