Wild Animal Sanctuary

We decided to go check out the Wild Animal Sanctuary, which is northeast of Denver off of I-76.  We weren't really sure what to expect. We packed a picnic lunch and off we went.  As we drove in to the entrance we saw bears, camels, alpaca.  Before beginning on the walk, an employee gives you an overview of the Sanctuary, which was helpful.  They have the story for every animal they have rescued, which are all carnivores. The Sanctuary provides a second chance for these animals that are pulled out of bad situations.  They have an elevated walkway that allows visitors to view the animals and reduce the animals exposure to humans, called Mile into the Wild.  We saw lots of tigers, bears, lions, and wolves.  We had a great visit and Avery and Ryan enjoyed the experience.
