Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge part-2

May 31, 2007.

We moved the motorhome 32-miles north, on I-15, to Brigham City, UT (the gateway to Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge). We dropped the motorhome at a Super Wal Mart located at exit 364 and headed to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge 20-miles west of Brigham City.

To find Bear River NMBR take I-15 exit 366 then follow Bird Refuge Road west to the NMBR.

Keep in mind that this is Part-2 of our 3-part series covering Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge near Brigham City, Utah. The others in this series are here:
