Will I see Lions and Tigers and Bears? Oh My!

You might see a Mountain Lion, a Coyote or maybe a Black Bear or Grizzly Bear depending on where you stay but you will probably see or hear some type of rodent. Mountain lions are hunters and hunt on rodents and fish. So are the bears and Coyotes. Rodents are veggie eaters and they eat leafs and mushrooms and such. They often are heard nibbling on tasty snacks.
