The first 31 years of Yellowstone it was ran by the army and there was a Fort Yellowstone located at Mammoth Hot Springs where we work....all of the fort building still exist and that gives it the appearance of a village.....the park headquarters are also located here.....elk love all the green grass and they don't feel so threatened by predators so you can most generally see some hanging around....they are not tame and we have seen them kick and gore people who get to close....during rut season in the fall it is amazing to watch the bull elk come into the village and vie for their ladies.....one was actually killed by another last year right in from of the store......
