Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is a treasure for wildlife enthusiasts. The signature tram tour through the 435-acre free-roaming area offers the opportunity to spot different species of animals as they wander through forests, wetlands and meadows. In the core walking-tour area, visitors can get a peek at native wild canines and cats as well as forest and wetland critters. The 723-acre park has a little bit of everything: lakes, trails, meadows and plenty of animals. Located near Mount Rainier in Washington state just south of Seattle and Tacoma, Northwest Trek is home to more than 200 North American animals representing more than 30 species. Check for seasonal hours.

If you're stuck in a rut, leave it to the action of clashing antlers, snorting herding, bugling and charging to help you "Get Out of the Rut." Visiting Northwest Trek during the elk rut (breeding season) can make for a memorable holiday weekend. Make your own set of antlers or horns, join in moose story time, play wild games and go on a park-wide scavenger hunt. Photo by Shari Sommerfeld, a 2007 Trek photo contest winner.
