Eryn's Tips:
I grew up in this area, so as a kid, the Wildlife Preserve was one of my favourites! I love doing the 5km walk in the summer with my camera, or it is a groomed ski trail in the winter!
They will often have fun events too, like feeding the animals out of pumpkins for Halloween! So check if anything fun is going on when you visit!
Also, if you know what a wild sheep looks like, the sheep at the preserve will blow your mind. Their horns are INSANE.
