Almost two years ago we visited the front entrance of Northwest Trek, located outside of Puyallup. On that trip we just snapped a photo of the entrance sign as part of the Tourism Revealed contest; but we vowed we’d get back to actually take “The Trek” someday. That day arrived last Saturday when we picked up my sister and headed out to see the animals.
Northwest Trek is a combination of a zoo and a free range viewing area which they refer to as their “free roam”. The actual trek is a ride on an enclosed trolley that traverses the entire 500+ acres where you can see all manner of “wild” animals.
The zoo portion of the exhibits is great for viewing, but I have to admit I found myself wishing the animals, especially the black bear, had more room, as he constantly paced back-and-forth in a 15 foot area. (This is called stereotypy.)
Here are some of the animals we enjoyed seeing:
