At a Glance
Salida is in the southeastern corner of this mostly public unit. High peaks of the Sawatch Range in the San Isabel National Forest are in the west and a valley is in the east. Healthy herds of elk and mule deer along with some antelope live here. Mining claim roads provide good access.
High country is rugged yet roads access much of it. There is a rifle deer season above timberline in early September.
