Northwest Trek

Yesterday we did something different, we left the house. Derek was in the mood to go hiking and get outside. Thankfully the weather cooperated with us. Since sadly we will be loosing our family, Cadence and Jonathan, that live so close to us. They are moving to Arizona in a week. We decided we better get together and go do something fun. We headed out towards Mount Rainer to Northwest Trek. It's a large wildlife sanctuary. I had heard about it but never been before. They have a large area that is open roaming for the non-meat eating animals. We were able to take a tram ride around the park and see all the different animals they have. The only ones that remained ellusive were the moose. I was sad, I really wanted to see a moose again. After the tram ride we wandered around the rest of the park. They have trails that wind through the fenced habitats (these are for the meat eaters). The kids had a blast and we had a pretty good time too. I'd definately go back again.

This goat was right up next to the road. I could have touched it if I reached out the window.
