Another crowd favorite of the park is the Giant Log Tunnel in the entrance of the park. It's made out of a whole tree!

The animals get so close in this park that visitors are required to have proper food storage. The food cannot be in plastic bags from the grocery store or in coolers because the bears can tell that that is a food source and will try to grab it from you. These bears are wild, so remember to be careful!
