Elk Watching at National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole

National Elk Refuge is comprised of more than 23,000 acres of elk habitat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, just north of Jackson.

National Elk Refuge was established in 1911 to protect elk wintering in Jackson Hole. The refuge is bordered by Gros Ventre River and the main road through Jackson Hole. The road features several turnouts where you can pull over and spot elk with binoculars.

Stop by the National Elk Refuge Visitor Center, and visit the nearby Jackson National Fish Hatchery.
