In the winter, the elk gather here to be fed. They offer horse-drawn sleigh rides when there is snow, and wagon rides when there isn't. It seems that last year, it was open daily during the daylight hours. Even if the visitor's center is closed, the elk are still there for viewing. You are fairly close to the elk, but binoculars are really nice for viewing close-up. I've gone on holidays before, and they are open even then. The road is almost always open, even during snowy times. It is a good road, and is paved right to Hardware Ranch, then the road branches off into gravel roads, one leading to Monte Cristo, and another direction to Bear Lake. Many people park here to start their snowmobiling treks to either direction. There is parking for snowmobile trailers.
