National Elk Refuge

Highlight • Natural Monument

The National Elk Refuge was created in 1912 to protect the nationally significant Jackson elk herd, that used to graze in the area now occupied by the town of Jackson, which was found to suffer starvation in the 1880s, prompting ranchers to feed them to help them survive. The Refuge is six miles wide at its widest point and ten miles long from southwest to northeast. The elevation varies from 6,200 feet to 7,200 feet. The Teton Range, visible to the west, rise to 13,766 feet at the summit of Grand Teton. The valley and surrounding mountains show classic examples of glaciation. The northern half of the Refuge consists of steep, rolling hills. The southern half is glacial washout material, with one resistant formation -- Miller Butte -- rising approximately 500 feet above the valley floor.
Much of the Refuge consists of grassy meadows and marshes on the valley floor. The flood plain forest along the Gros Ventre River contains blue spruce, narrowleaf cottonwood, red osier dogwood, and willow as major species. There are extensive areas of big sagebrush and rocky outcroppings. The forested areas of lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, and aspen are mostly on the northern slopes of the Gros Ventre hills. fws.gov/refuge/National_Elk_Refuge

Grand Teton National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The excellent paved bike trail runs parallel to the main park road as it enters Grand Teton National Park from the south, with the impressive background of Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any American national park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years. Find out more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Teton_National_Park
