Probably very few to zero elk.  Sure if you get up high enough you can find some bears in the alpine areas around.

I thought the EPA was gonna dig up all the heavy metals left by mining 100 years ago and close it down for a couple years. Retarded I know. Definitely bear and deer around.

It was scheduled to be complete by now, but I don't think it is.

Lots and lots of hikers up there. Less going up into Glacier Basin but still plenty of folks. Its a popular place and very easy access from the old road at Barlow Pass or the new road past the pass. Easy bike ride in though.

There is a bike rack in the town site so you can ride in and lock it up then backpack up into the alpine area. Seen 1 bear and 2 deer but no elk in the 4 times I've been up there. All in summer time though not in the late summer/fall.
