HYRUM -- As winter sets in, hundreds of elk are descending from their summer ranges at higher elevations and congregating at a feeding ground that has been helping the large mammals get through cold Top of Utah winters for 65 years.
As the seasonal migration gets into full swing, the people who run Hardware Ranch are preparing to open their gates this week for the public to enjoy Utah's best opportunity to get an up-close view of hundreds of wintering Rocky Mountain elk.
Hardware Ranch, located 15 miles up Blacksmith Fork Canyon at the southern end of Cache Valley, will open for the season at noon Friday for horse-drawn wagon rides among a large herd of elk that has already showed up, drawn by the prospect of daily feedings of hay.
