The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is the year-round residence for a herd of about 100 Roosevelt elk. A mild winter climate and abundant food allow the Roosevelt elk to remain at the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area all year. The O.H. Hinsdale Rhododendron Garden is located across Highway 38 from the elk viewing area. This site is currently not open to the public, but the District is developing a plan to provide public access.
