Seven animal habitats offer close-up views of native wildlife including bears, cougars, otters, and eagles in natural settings and an excellent museum interprets the mountain’s natural history. Other features include a restaurant and gift shops, picnic areas, walking trails, and challenging ridge-top hiking trails.

Guided hikes, naturalist programs, and behind-the-scenes tours available by reservation.
