Jackson Hole Wyoming Elk Refuge - Interest List
Travel to Jackson, Wyoming and have lunch at Jackson Hole Senior Citizen Center. After lunch we will travel to National Elk Refuge for a sleigh ride. A sleigh ride is a great way to explore the refuge. The refuge was originally established in 1912 to protect one of the world’s largest elk herds. It spans 24,700 acres. Run by the Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Elk Refuge provides a winter habitat for elk. The elk typically migrate down from the high country from late October through December in search of food. They make their way back to higher elevation in April and May. Return to Pocatello about 6:00.
Please make sure to bring warm clothes for the sleigh ride. Hats, gloves, blankets, warm coats and warm boots.
It’s cold in February!
