Hi everyone, hope your weekend has been going well? I am sharing some pictures today of a kind of Safari experience, right here in the USA. The NorthWest trek appealed to me because of the combination of a guided tour through a wildlife reserve and nature hiking.

The guided tour aspect involved riding a tram across the expanse where the wildlife roams freely, and we got to see bison, Roosevelt elk, moose, mountain goats and other native animals, up close in the wild.
After that, we trekked through the well marked trails in the park, a kind of self-guided zoo experience that included grizzly bears, wolves, mountain lions, beavers, wolverines and some birds like the owls and eagles in very natural looking exhibits. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteThat is why I love taking pictures :)
DeleteAll are lovely photos. I like the idea of the tram. I could do without the skunk. Wouldn't want to upset him(laughing). The Elk sculture is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tea. The skunk was sealed off from visitors, and even then the enclosure stunk :)
DeleteLOvely photos. I envy you all this travelling time. I yearn for such lost freedoms. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Kiru. Luckily, this was not too far away from us, just about some hours drive.
DeleteInteresting....
