NATIONAL ELK REFUGE

The National Elk Refuge, located on the edge of Bridger-Teton National Forest and Grand Teton National Park, has been responsible, since 1912, for protecting wild elk herds from the region. Therefore, if it first welcomes cervids that take refuge in winter, its 10,000 hectares are also the host land of many other species including wolves, bison and more than 175 species of birds including swans and eagles with white heads. The huge herd of elk on the background of white landscapes and serene summits offers a unique spectacle.
