Staycation #1 - Fossil Rim

We have heard many locals talk about Fossil Rim since we moved here. We finally decided that this summer Fossil Rim had to be visited. After some research, I found out they have a lodge. So we spent last night in the Peregrine Room. It was wonderful. This place had a huge balcony that overlooked a large grazing area. We sat and watched many animals come in to eat for the evening. It was awesome. Then the kids enjoyed the very large jacuzzi tub our room had. After a good night's sleep, we went to the safari camp for a buffet breakfast - again, lots of animals grazing for the morning. We then headed to the main entrance to start the safari drive and purchase our bag of food. What an experience. We immediately were met by zebras and deer of several kinds. They were all used to being fed by the tours so they were very friendly. We saw many animals on our 3 hour drive through the park. Leland got to feed a giraffe from his hand; we had zebra, a type of ram, and deer stick their heads into our pickup looking for more food. We loved this quick staycation. We highly recommend visiting Fossil Rim.
