Along the way, hikers will be treated to vibrant displays of wildflowers during spring, trickling waterfalls during summer, and fantastic birdlife all year round!

Home to around 150 species of animals, the zoo is regularly named as one of the best small zoos in the state, if not the country.

However you decide to spend your time at the zoo, don't forget to be on time for the giraffe feeding hour, where you'll be able to get up close to one of the only known giraffes with a crooked neck!

Andy was a GREAT host! He saved our vacation after Outdoorsy had to cancel our previous reservation last minute. Not only was he quick to respond, but he was super communicative and friendly! He had everything dialed in for us when we arrived and even set up the sitting area for us outside! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Tony was very helpful as this was my first time renting a trailer. He spent time with me going over what was important and to ensure a safe trip. Outdoorsy is great to have for any length of trip. They cover it all.
Thanks again.
