For summer cookouts there are picnic tables and barbecue grills for your use. For hunters, there is a fenced pasture and corrals behind the Inn for horses and ample trailer parking. For our winter guests, we offer great weekly rates and weekend specials. The National Museum of Wildlife Art and the National Elk Refuge Sleight rides are located only one mile north of the Inn. The Elk Refuge Inn takes its name from the National Elk Refuge which can be viewed from the Inn.
Spring thaws signal their journey back into the high country.
The National Elk Refuge also hosts a variety of birds including hawks, eagles, swans, cranes and other. The Butte behind the Inn is the winter home for mule deer which often roam the grounds of the Inn. If you are looking for quiet mountain serenity, you picked the right place. Fall brings the golden hues of changing aspen leaves and the distant bugles of migrating elk. Fall is a peaceful season in the mountains.
