Badger and Porcupine

Northwest Trek is a 723-acre wildlife park featuring a 435-acre free-roaming area tram tour (50 minutes) and several exhibits featuring injured/rehabilitated animals that can't be released back into the wild. All the animals at Northwest Trek are from the Pacific Northwest. This is one of my favorite places to be. The place is clean, the employees are always friendly, and you never know what you're going to see. Last year, while on the tram, a family of raccoons were playing just up the hill from the road and the tram driver stopped so we could watch for a while. None of the animals in the free-roaming area are tame. Elk, moose, caribou, bison, and mountain sheep roam the 435 acres. Some days, you won't see anything, so it's always exciting when you do.

Wow, I got long-winded there.  Anyway, here are some photos from the captive exhibits:

Both are great pictures.
I have been to WA a billion times and have never been there.  We are planning on heading up there next summer maybe.  We haven't been since my daughter was born, we'll have to go.  I bet my daughter would love it.  The greenery alone would amaze her since we live in a desert.
