The wildlife photographs were taken along the Auto Tour of 4 National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). All the Auto Tours are free except the exceptional tour at the Sacramento NWR, which charges $6 for a single-day trip, or $12 for an annual pass. Or, if you have an annual National Parks pass that covers all National Parks, you can visit the Sacramento NWR without an additional charge. The Auto Tour is normally open Sunrise to Sunset.
