More about the National Elk Refuge
The National Elk Refuge sits just north of Jackson, Wyoming, sprawling across nearly 25,000 acres of sagebrush flats, willow bottoms, and grassy meadows tucked against the foothills of the Gros Ventre Range. Established in 1912 to protect the largest wintering herd of elk in North America, the National Elk Refuge is a living gateway to the greater Grand Teton ecosystem, and it makes a natural starting point for a four-hour wildlife safari into the park. In the soft light of early morning or late afternoon, the refuge becomes one of the most reliable places anywhere in the Rockies to spot big game in its natural rhythm.
On this small-group safari, your expert naturalist guide scans the open expanses of the National Elk Refuge for the animals that draw photographers and wildlife lovers from around the world. Depending on the season, you may see herds of elk grazing across the valley floor, bighorn sheep picking their way along the rocky slopes above, trumpeter swans gliding on spring-fed channels, and bald eagles perched in cottonwoods. Spotting scopes and binoculars bring distant moose, pronghorn, coyotes, and the occasional wolf or bear into crisp focus, while your guide shares the natural history that ties the National Elk Refuge to the wider Teton landscape just beyond.
This experience is ideal for families, photographers, birders, and first-time visitors who want a deeper understanding of the wildlife living in the shadow of the Tetons. Travelers who prefer comfort will appreciate the relaxed pace, the climate-controlled vehicle, and the chance to ask endless questions of a guide who truly knows the terrain. If you want to see Jackson Hole the way locals love it, a safari that includes the National Elk Refuge is an unforgettable way to begin.
