The lot is open all year dawn to dusk. I’m sure the visitor center has hours. The elk come in depending on the weather, but usually going good by Christmas. This year was earlier because of the fire. The more it snows, the more that come. Weekends are busier than weekdays, but that is lesser now since no one seems to work. Truck tours out in the lot start about 11 I think or what I have seen, every half hour or so. They feed at 130. Elk get Andy and start moving down about an hour before. Actually when they start their first tour truck, gets their attention. There used to be other lots, but some were closed due to natives shooting them in the lot, and this year I was surprised to see Joe Watt closed
