We were there last weekend from Friday - Sunday. We saw two black bears, but no grizzlies. One of the blacks was just off the road between Mt. Washburn and Tower -- just before the small road construction project that's going on there. I think it's the same one we saw in almost the same place in June -- so you might get lucky and run into him there. There other one was just across the road from the Mt. Washburn parking lot -- way up on the hillside. Not great viewing, but definitely a bear.

We saw 2 bull moose who seemed to be sticking around the end of the Petrified Tree road -- right by the parking lot where you can leave trailers. They were drawing quite a bit of attention, and are probably the same ones mentioned above that had been in the Elk Creek area.

I've read reports of grizzlies in Lamar, but the one that's been sighted most seems to head out of sight really early in the morning. We had our 2 1/2 month old grandson with us, so we definitely didn't get the early starts we like to.
