Elk Antler Arches

We are at Jackson, Wyoming and this place is as busy as Brainerd on the 4th of July! Jackson is 12 miles from Grand Teton National Park and 58 miles from Yellowstone National Park. Jackson Hole is the ski resort on the edge of town. The arches were erected in 1960 from shed antlers found at the National Elk Refuge near Jackson. 7,500 elk winter here each winter. The Boy Scouts are allowed to collect antlers at the Refuge and they sell them at public auction every May.
