Navigate the terrain by car, foot, or horseback, and consider spending the night in one of several campgrounds. View Great Plains wildlife such as bison, bighorn sheep, elk, prairie dogs, and wild horses. Don't get too close to the animals and bring binoculars to spot wildlife in the distance.

  So enjoyed the views and wildlife. We saw horses, buffalo, deer and many ground hogs living out in the open. Great places to get out at scenic areas. Pack a lunch and snacks because it takes a long time to get through it but so worth it.
