We got super lucky and it was a bluebird day!! Our sleigh driver was super friendly and quiet knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Another sleigh driver was carrying a large group of preschoolers so it is very kid-friendly. They do have a bunch of warm wool blankets so you can cover your legs during the ride for the cold.
We had such a great time! Be sure to dress warm as you are outside for an hour. They provide blankets on the ride which was great for those who might need them. The guides are very knowledgable about the history that surrounds the refuge and the elk! So many fun facts we learned. Plenty of photo ops when we stopped the sleigh to look at the elk, we were allowed to stand up as well.Your guide works for gratuity, so dont forget to bring extra cash!
We enjoyed our sleigh ride with the National Elk Refuge. Everyone was friendly. I did feel the reminders about showing your appreciation to your guide was a bit too much. Although our guide was knowledgeable we were sitting the farthest away and it was impossible to hear anything he was saying when the sleigh was moving. But it was pretty neat to be out there right in the middle of the herd.
Definitely worth the $25 to go out and see the refuge. They provide blankets on the sleigh which definitely help when its brutally cold out. Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable.
It was a nice experience being out on the sleigh, it was really cold even with the blanket on though lol. Saw alot of elk while on the ride. The guide was knowledgeable and funny.
Super fun tour. You get up close to the elk and the guides are very knowledgeable!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, beautiful, hard working draft horses, warm blankets, cushioned wagons, and skilled drivers. A great value.
Double H did a terrific job with the sleigh rides and during the experience our driver was super informative and congenial.
This is such an amazing experience. You learn so much about the elk and can get so close.
A must do for everyone! Awesome experience and beautiful animals and scenery
Excellent, we had a great guide, the view of the elk was good although it snowed a lot
Tons of elk up close. Kids got a great view
Didnt get to go because of the weather and the elk had gone all gone up on the ridge. So instead they gave us a ticket for a future date which I thought was wonderful
Fantastic experience. Family friendly. Jack & Jill were our beautiful drivers. Educational cruise through the Jackson area. Beautiful view of the tetons. Definite photo opportunities. Dress warm if its brisk!
Yes, there was many elk in the area. Much cheaper to stop next to the road binoculars
Can take close up pictures of the elk. Very informative.
I learned a lot about the elk there and it was wonderful
Great tour to see Elk up close in the winter.
Shelby was an excellent driver and was very informative.
Will definitely be back to do it again.
Website says they are open, we drove six hundred miles and had that planned for the trip and it’s closed! To me that’s false advertisement!!!
Fun ride and up close look at Elk
Awesome experience, definitely recommended!
