It's a beautiful 10 mile winding road with spectacular vistas. While at the marina you can swim, sun, boat, take photos, fish, and even collect unusual pieces of driftwood. It's a beautiful three mile long hike. The wildlife of the Bighorn Canyon is as varied as the land, which can be divided into four specific climate or vegetative zones. In the south is desert shrub land inhabited by wild horses, snakes and small rodents.
Midway is juniper woodland with coyotes, deer, bighorn sheep, beaver, wood rats and porcupine.
Along the flanks of the canyon is pine and fir woodland with mountain lions, bear, elk, and mule deer. To the north is short grass prairie, once home to the herds of buffalo. Many of the smaller animals, such as skunks, cottontails, coyotes, and rattlesnakes, are seen frequently throughout the park. More than 200 species of birds, including many kinds of waterfowl, have been seen in the park. Each plant and animal species is adapted to the particular conditions of temperature, moisture, and land form within one or more of the parks four primary zones.
