The folks visited
Northwest Trek Wildlife Park on Sunday. They passed by it on their way to Mt. Rainier the weekend before and Mama was surprised when Dad said he wanted to go. She did some research and found that the park received excellent reviews.
The park only has animals that are native to this area. Some of the animals are in enclosures such as the bear, cats and birds that have been injured and cannot fly. The bison, elk, moose, caribou are allowed to roam freely. There is a tram that takes visitors through the area that the animals roam. The tram ride is included in the admission price and it can be taken as many times as you like for no additional charge. The tram ride takes about an hour and Mama said it was really nice. She said some of the animals were close enough to touch.

There were other animals that Mama could not get decent pictures of such a moose, raccoons, coyotes, etc. The folks really enjoyed visiting this park. It is very clean and well kept. Mama said if she lived here, she would probably visit a few times a year.
The park has a zip line, but the folks didn't do that. BOL!
