Review & FAQ:
The National Elk Refuge provides a sanctuary for the Jackson Elk Herd, while protecting their habitat and providing a home for other endangered species including bison, bald eagles, trumpeter swans, and wolves.
The significant Jackson Elk Herd is thought to number approximately 11,000 animals, which migrate across a substantial swathe of land in Jackson Hole and the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
To get an overview of the refuge, you can start your visit at the interagency visitors center, where the enthusiastic staff will inform you about seasonal activities. In winter you can get up close to the elk on a sleigh ride, while in summer you can follow a trail on foot or by bicycle.
