The tule elk can be found in several locations within the park but the best chance of seeing them is in the Tule Elk Preserve at Tomales Point. They graze freely and are often seen near the road as you drive into the preserve.

2015 Point Reyes National Seashore Travel— 8/13 Tomales Point Trail （三）
The tule elk herds had virtually disappeared by 1860, 13 years before the state awarded them complete protection. In the spring of 1978, two bulls and eight cows were brought in from the San Luis Island Wildlife Refuge near Los Banos. The elk were contained within a temporary, three acre enclosure to allow for adjustment to their new surroundings. That summer, 6 of the cows bore calves. In the fall, 17 elk were released from the enclosure on Tomales Point to 1,050 hectares (2,600 acres) of open grassland and coastal scrub. By the summer of 1988, the population was at 93 animals. The population census taken in 2000 counted over 400 elk. In 2009, over 440 were counted at Tomales Point, making the the Point Reyes herds one of the largest populations in California.

濃霧中看到了Tule elk
就二隻孤孤單單的在吃著草
老公將鏡頭拉近，這隻elk怎麼只有一隻角？
是打架時弄斷的嗎？
濃霧中的elk！
相看兩不厭嗎？
即使在吃草也充滿著警戒心！
另類獨角獸！
霧中隱約可見對面的陸地
隔著Tomales Bay與對岸遙遙相望！
