This panorama of the National Elk Refuge located in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was taken by James Blakeway. The Refuge was established in 1912 to provide winter habitat and preserve the Jackson elk herd. It is an integral component of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, bounded by Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The winter season is the best time to view the spectacle of thousands of migratory elk, as well as bison, bighorn sheep, coyotes, trumpeter swans, moose, bald eagles and more. The Refuge also includes a wide variety of habitats, including grassy meadows, marshes, timbered areas, sagebrush and rocky outcroppings.
