The National Elk Refuge has temporarily changed its operations in response to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. The Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center is temporarily closed. This closure follows guidance from the CDC and recommendations from state and local public health authorities.
All visitor activities and programs that operate out of the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center have been cancelled for the remainder of the winter season. This includes Winter Sleigh Rides, Naturalist-led Wildlife Excursions, and Feathered Fridays.
The Refuge itself remains open from sunrise to sunset. Note however, that public restrooms, including vault toilets, are closed. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you enjoy your visit to the Refuge.
