We'll then make our way just a couple miles north of Jackson to the National Elk Refuge, which is winter home for thousands of these majestic animals. We get a close up view as we take a horse drawn sleigh right into the massive herd on the Elk refuge. Our sleigh driver and guide will explain how the settling of the Jackson Valley affected the elk herd migration and why the refuge plays an important role in their survival. Overnight in Jackson with a group dinner at a local restaurant.
