Northwest Trek to let people drive their cars through wildlife park for first time ever

Northwest Trek deputy director Rick Dietz never thought he’d be letting people drive their own cars through the wildlife park.

But in a global pandemic that requires safe social distancing, Dietz and his team had to get creative.

“We’re all feeling the effects of being cooped up inside, and we wanted to provide an opportunity for our community to enjoy nature,” Dietz said.

This month Northwest Trek launched Wild Drive, a new tour that opens up the park’s 435-acre free-roaming area to visitors interested in catching sight of a moose or mountain goat from the comfort of their own cars. Visitors can see dozens of native wildlife — maybe even a newborn bison — in meadows, wetlands and forests.
