The National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming, is a crucial sanctuary established in 1912 to provide a winter habitat for the Jackson Elk Herd. Spanning over 24,700 acres, the refuge offers a diverse landscape of grasslands, wetlands, and forests. It supports not only elk but also a variety of wildlife including bison, trumpeter swans, and numerous bird species. In the winter, visitors can enjoy guided sleigh rides to observe the elk up close, while educational programs and interpretive displays are available year-round.
