We visited on Wed, 11 SEP 13. What a cool place! Rustic decor with clean modern facilities. Really enjoyed the exhibits, and the huge windows in the lodge allow for elk watching if the weather keeps you inside. They have a really friendly staff of volunteers and Park Rangers who are very knowledgeable about the elk herd in Pennsylvania. We were fortunate enough to see two herds and the interaction between the bulls and to hear the dominant bull bugling multiple times. It was a very cool experience. I must give a shout out to one Park Ranger in particular. The young lady really knows her stuff about the park and elk herds and their behavior, but what really struck me was her personality and how she interacted with a group of us out on one of the paths while we were watching the two herds. She was able to answer everyone's questions, explained what was going on between the two bulls and their herds, gave pointers for picture taking and viewing and allowed others to use her binoculars. She was especially compassionate with my father, who is deaf, and my mother, who is almost totally blind, allowing them to use her binoculars to see the elk. It is obvious she really enjoys her job, is passionate about the elk and the overall environment of North Central PA and she is a real asset to the park. Final note, there is a nice gift shop in the visitors center and feature this, I seems everything is made in the U.S.!
