This area is north of Rawlins and southeast of Lander. There is a lot of public access here and good opportunities for mule deer, as well. There are not as many whitetail, but they can typically be found near creek bottoms. For nonresidents, this area is part of Region Q and tags drawn for this area are also valid in: 97, 98.

There are a lot of rangelands of Sweeny Basin here, and a big network of drainages including Cottonwood, Crooks, Sheep and Happy Springs Creeks.

County, BLM and secondary roads have a good road system. Four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended here. The mountains here are rugged and heavily forested, so be prepared for rough stalks.

Higher elevations usually have stands of aspen, pine spruce and fir. Cottonwood and willows line some creek bottoms in the area and the ridges and hillsides have a mix of pine and juniper. Grasslands have a lot of buffalo, blue grama grasses and sagebrush.

Camping is allowed on BLM land here. Lander and Rawlins have motels, restaurants, medical facilities and 24/7 gas stations.
