This is a good place to look at Torrey Creek, whose willow-lined banks provide food and shelter for moose. If you're lucky (especially at dawn and dusk) you may see a beaver or hear one slap its tail on the water. Have you spotted a raven flying over yet? Ravens, large black soaring birds, are in the same family as magpies, common black & white birds with very long tails. Both species like to eat carrion and are year-round residents of the area. A mile further up the road is the Trail Lake Ranch / Whiskey Mountain Wildlife Conservation Camp. Bear to the right, around it – and watch for sheep in the road! Along Torrey Creek, to your left, you can see old beaver dams and lodges. In winter, look for sheep on the skyline of Torrey Rim to the right and the slopes below it.
