Tier 3 — upper Paradise Valley, famous for evening grizzly-watching (bring binoculars/scope). Stunning basin; limited dispersed camping plus a small campground and the Petrified Forest trailhead at the end.

Active grizzly area — be dialed on food storage (hard-sided vehicle or bear box). Road is rough gravel and runs through private property — don't follow GPS to the very end; stay on Tom Miner Creek Rd.
