RIDGWAY — The Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau announced the newest version of the popular Elk Viewing Guide is now available.

It is the quintessential guide to viewing elk in Pennsylvania’s “Wild Elk Country” with the history of the elk herd, elk viewing tips, a map with elk viewing locations, lodging information, and more. The new Elk Viewing Guides are available for free download online at VisitPAGO.com/free-information, PAGO branded information racks, and at our members’ locations. Visitors can also request a copy via mail by calling (814) 849-5197 or emailing info@visitpago.com.

“Each fall, the elk breeding season brings thousands of visitors per week to Pennsylvania’s Great Outdoors region to experience the sights and sounds of bull elk bugling and battling during the rut. The new Elk Viewing Guide helps visitors find the best times and places to see the majestic creatures,” said John Straitiff, executive director, Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau.

This project was made possible by an Elk County Room Tax Committee with the approval of the Elk County Commissioners through the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau Tourism marketing grant program.

Pennsylvania’s Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau is a membership-based travel promotion organization serving five counties in Northwest Pennsylvania: Jefferson, Elk, Clarion, Forest, and Cameron. The mission of the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau is to design and implement marketing strategies/programs with the specific intent of increasing overnight travel-related expenditures and awareness of the region as the home of “Endless Outdoor Adventure.”
