What kinds of wildlife are at Tall Timber? Are any dangerous?
A. Tall Timber’s greatest asset is it’s setting, bordering Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, and is home to many forms of wildlife. Commonly seen are deer, rabbits, chipmunks and squirrels, mice, birds and toads. We do not have rattlesnakes. Less frequent sightings are weasels, otter, beaver, raccoons, bears and coyotes. Cougar and bobcat inhabit the area, but are not seen in summer. We have never had a problem with bears getting into garbage. They are truly wild, not acclimated to humans, and stay away from a noisy, busy camp. The greatest nuisances we have from wildlife are crows getting into garbage cans, and mice getting into cabins after food. For this reason, the rule for kids not to bring up their own snacks is strictly enforced.
