It was a nice trip. We got to saw a lot of wild animals who were definitely enjoying themselves! We had a male and a female deer come up to our car and licking it. We got to see them up close and it was a treat, it lasted for like 10 min :P! We also saw two bears fighting and playing with each other, it was so adorable! I would say it's a must visit!
