Truck tours are available on a first-come, first served and reservation basis to take visitors out amonst the elk. These tours are supported by donations.

Look for the helpful folks in the blue vests and caps. The center has a video program, exhibits, and a kids' corner. There is no charge to view the exhibits, but donations are welcomed.
