Take some binoculars or a spotting scope. There's a couple of overlooks at the top of the mountain, I recommend both at sunrise and sunset. I've seen elk, deer, moose and yes, BEARS! Mainly black bears frequent this area. Two words of advice DRIVE SLOW! This is a narrow two way traffic road with no painted lines and lots of curves that create poor visibility of incoming traffic and even wildlife. The description nailed it! An amazing drive, good road and very well maintained. Please note that this road is closed in the Winter months, and trailers and RV's are prohibited. Wildflowers are abundant here in Summer, and Fall colors are gorgeous. You can then walk up the paved path to the West to get to Jackson Point Overlook where you will see gorgeous views of the Teton Range, including Mt. You will arrive at a parking lot, where you will see the East View Overlook, with views of the Jackson Hole Valley below. Once you get to the top, it's a dead-end. Black bears and mule deer are frequently seen in the Signal Mountain area.
The road is narrow so drive slowly and enjoy the scenery. The drive begins just about a mile from Signal Mountain Lodge and there is a large sign marking the beginning of the road.
Once at the top, you will be treated to beautiful views of the Teton Range, Jackson Lake, and the Snake River, as well as the Teton Valley below. This 5 mile drive (10 miles round-trip) switchbacks up a tree-lined paved road to the top of Signal Mountain Summit. One of the prettiest drives in the park, Signal Mountain Road is located just about a mile from the Signal Mountain Lodge.
This scenic and peaceful drive through large stands of conifers provides plenty of opportunities for wildlife viewing as well as panoramic views of the Teton Range and Jackson Hole Valley.
