The Central Montana Education Center in Lewistown is partnering with the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge to offer people a trip to the Slippery Ann elk viewing area during the peak of the elk rut.

The tour is offered on Sept. 30 and includes a luxury coach bus ride with a CMR employee and an evening picnic overlooking the elk herds.

The tour will depart from the Fergus High School parking lot at 4 p.m. and return from the Slippery Ann area to Lewistown around 9.

Participants must preregister by Sept. 25 by stopping in the center’s office, 773 Airport Road, or by calling 406-535-9022. A small fee per person will be charged. Participants should bring a sack lunch and folding chair. A box lunch with beverage is available for a fee but must be ordered at preregistration.

CMR will provide spotting scopes, binoculars and refuge staff will accompany the tour to help interpret the experience.
