Salmonier Nature Park

A really great hike for anyone and we all had fun. It is about an hour to walk around the trail. That's a caribou behind Ella. Here's a blurb from their website...and true. We saw about 80% of the animals. Even the moose looked up at us.

The layout of the Park is based on a nature walk. The animals are in large natural enclosures scattered along the park’s boardwalk trail. This allows visitors to see animals that are part of their natural surroundings and also encourages visitors to feel they are part of these surroundings. Salmonier Nature Park takes people into the landscape where the animals are displayed in settings that are as natural as possible.

The emphasis at Salmonier is on quality, not quantity. Unless an animal can be displayed well, it is not displayed at all. Most display animals come to the park injured and unreleasable. Because of the naturalistic displays and the need to balance the needs of the animal and the desire of people to see them, the Park does not guarantee that the animals will always be visible. Most visitors see about 80% of the animals during one visit.
