What I have seen: Elk, deer, moose, mountain lion, Black bear, ground squirrels, and assorted birds ranging from LGBs (little gray birds) to Bald eagles.
What I have heard (often): Wolves .. two packs on opposite sides of the mountain
What is possibly in the area, but I have not seen: Grizzly bears (a few vagrants come down south of I-90), goats, sheep, bobcats, porcupines .. and ???
I photographed this big American black bear in late August of 2024. A couple of days later a bow hunter, hunting elk, was charged by a big bear about 3/4 mile from the lookout tower. The hunter and I think that it was the same bear. The bears come up the mountain in late August as the huckleberries ripen at the higher elevations (2024 had a bumper crop of huckleberries).
