Nestled in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the National Elk Refuge protects and showcases a critically important winter habitat for Elk and a variety of other wildlife. The refuge is a popular vacation destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, who can start their tour of the refuge by stopping by the Jackson Hole Visitor’s Center to watch an introductory video and get all the up-to-date information about the refuge. There is a multi-use pathway (May through October) for hiking, biking and wildlife watching and seasonal fishing and hunting is allowed.
