Went in to get information about Mirror Lake Highway and person on duty was very helpful.

Recommend stopping here if nothing more than to see the bison. Informative visitor center and welcoming staff. Totally worth a few minutes inside. If you have time, walk the trail by the Bear River. A nice peaceful stroll or a good little run if you take the time.
