Elk Trek

Nestled in over 1600 acres of private property is our exclusive Wykoff Run camp. From beautiful open places to deep woodlands, Wykoff Run offers endless options for wildlife viewing and nature photography. All Nature Quest camp trips are professionally guided by knowledgable and professional staff. Your guide will help you spot Pennsylvania elk and many other beautiful species of flora and fauna that this area is famous for. Our campfire breakfast is a great way to start your day, and steaks over the fire at night is an even better way to finish it! These trips allow you a deeper immersion in the PA Wilds that you just can't get staying at a motel. Each season brings different opportunities - In the spring, returning bird species and emerging plants are abundant, in summer, the area is in full gear and the elk are calving, and fall is the best time for bugling bull elk - and the fall foliage colors are second to none. Our private camp is also located in some of the darkest skies on the east coast with minimal light pollution - ask about our guided stargazing options.

Elk tours in Wykoff Run is a once in a lifetime experience - excellent for families with children, nature lovers of all experience levels and anyone who wants to have an incrediable experience watching and learning about wildlife in the PA Wilds!

Nature Quest’s Elk Trek is the premiere wildlife watching excursion, where we travel deep into the most remote areas of the Pennsylvania Wilds, an area teeming with abundant wildlife. Of course, the feature species is the wild and free-ranging elk, but white-tailed deer, bobcats, black bear, coyotes, and many other species present once in a lifetime viewing opportunities every day. This is an extremely scenic landscape with sparkling streams and endless mountains visible from top-of-the-world vistas. Your expert guide will explain all about elk life history and management, as well as many other features of the elk habitat and the animals that live there.

The guest can tailor this trip to suit your interests and abilities. It can be an extreme wildlife blitz using whatever means of travel is most appropriate (cars, hiking, mountain biking, or canoeing), or a leisurely relaxing experience where you really get a chance to soak in the wonders of nature in a beautiful setting. Using bikes, either aggressively or on short level trails will greatly add to the enjoyment and wildlife sightings on this trip. This trip can include the velvety black night skies of the Pennsylvania Wilds, campfire cooking, hands-on demonstrations of native American and pioneer skills and culture, and many other options.
