The best spot I've found for photo ops, animal and scenic, is Katmai
National Park in Alaska. The is a photo stand near the falls where you
can photgraph the bears fishing for salmon in relative safety. It's a
real opportunity to get close and personal with grizzlies. Bald eagles
drop by to grab the snacks, and there are plenty of moose in the lake.
At the other end of the park is the Valley of 10,000 smokes, willed with
hundreds of meters of volcanic ash from an eruption almost a century ago
that was much larger than Mt St Helens or Pinatubo. A must-see location
if one goes to Alaska.

Bob,
For two weeks last Aug/Sept, we worked THAT road every day for 8 to 9 hours/day, starting some 30 miles west of where the park buses turn around (Eilson visitor center).
I have to say there are more photographic opportunities (both animal life & scenic) along that road than any other place I've visited.
