Handsome specimens at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's elk refuge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a valley on the edge of Grand Teton National Park

Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The refuge was established to provide winter habitat for the Jackson Elk Herd. Elk leave the lower elevations in April and May, following the receding snowline back into the high country. In their summer range, elk feed on lush meadow plants and use forests for shelter.
