Fish Creek is so pristine, you're likely to run into the casual observer along the way who might be sampling a few huckleberry bushes or drinking from one of the streams winding through the forest, or just standing in the shade to get a few winks of rest. These characters are fully costumed and appear in the shape of a moose, a bear, a whitetail deer, or possibly an elk. You might catch a glimpse of a coyote or even a wolf too, so it would be prudent to keep a can of bear mace or some deterrent with you at all times, especially if you're biking alone.
