Northwest Trek

On Labor Day we went to the Northwest Trek near Yelm, Washington South of Seattle. It is a vast park where you can see animals indigenous to the Northwest in the natural habitats, with the exception of the predatory animals, that are kept separately for obvious reasons. We toured through the park and saw wolves, wolverines, beavers, and a grizzly bear (which was pretty exciting). We also took a tram ride and saw buffalo, dear, moose, mountain goats, and mountain sheep. The park was beautiful with some small lakes, and a variety of trees. The kids absolutely loved it, and Joe and I thought it was pretty cool too!

Isn't it just so beautiful there? Okay, there are a couple of really great places you HAVE to go. There are the natural waterslides. It is a little hike up to them but SO fun. And Snoqualmie Falls, of course. Leavenworth (the German town) is so fun. You have to go to the aquarium, it is great. Lots more, but I'll tell you about them later. And yes, I am living in Seattle vicariously through you.
