N W Trek Wildlife Park is a 723 acre wildlife park located near the town of Eatonville. The park is home to black and grizzly bears, grey wolves, bald eagles, cougars, wolverines, bobcats, deer, elk, American bison, big horn sheep, and others. It has walking paths, and electric, heated trams which take you around the park to view many of the animals in the wilderness setting. There are walking paths to enjoy, and which lead you to the many exhibits including wetland animals, bears, canines, forest animals, insects, reptiles, birds and cats. The entry fee includes the tram tour.
It is recommended that you purchase your tickets on line, but if that is difficult for you, they can be purchased at the gate for $5.00 more than the online purchase. The current online cost is:
Seniors $23.00 Adults $25.00 Youth $17.00 Under 2 Free
GENERAL INFORMATION:
· NW Trek 9:30 am to 3:00 pm
· The tram has limited number of people who can get on, it is recommended that you come early. At admission they will give each person a time to board the tram, if you miss that time you may miss your ride for the day.
· It is about 20 miles from our home, and will take about 30 minutes to drive there.
ITINERARY FOR DAY
· Meet at Ken and Fran’s house around 8:30 am for coffee and donuts.
· Leave at 9:00 am and tour together to NW Trek. Leaving at this time may help with parking availability.
· Bring your own sack lunch (optional—they do offer food in their Forest Café)
· Purchase tickets online www.nwtrek.org/visit/prices/. You can view prices and purchase at this site. Or you can also purchase at the gate for $5.00 increase in price.
· Before and after your tram ride walk trails and visit the exhibits on your own. Since it will be a little cold to eat outside, consider leaving around 3:00 pm or even before and return to Ken and Fran’s to eat your sack lunch, if you have not done so already. Fran will be here at home all day, so you can return anytime you would like. We will have some hot drinks—coffee, hot chocolate, tea and cider– in a warm environment. You can also head on home from NW Trek.
This gives you several options that could work for you. To help with the planning, please RSVP to the OCTC website, if you are planning to attend.
