Washington State Route 706 , a few miles before the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park , there is a roadside attraction that not only catches your eye but also your full attention — a life-sized giraffe made entirely of recycled iron .
Far more than the typical national park driving distraction , Dan Klennert ’ s Recycled Spirits of Iron Sculpture Park is one of those places that demands you pull over and take a break from your busy travel schedule . Navigating past the ornate garden entryway made of various plows and old gears , you notice the giraffe has many friends . A bugling elk . A giant seahorse made of horseshoes . A gargantuan spider . All share the gorgeous four-acre cedar grove with trumpet players , full-sized train engines and much more .
