Roughly 1,400 square miles
50% public land
Elevations from 4,800-10,500 feet
Vegetation
Low elevations in this unit have dry, desert rolling hills, and flats. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees can be found here. Middle elevations are covered in pinyon pines and the sagebrush continues through this elevation as well. Higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes and conifer trees.
Access
Much of the unit is either desert land managed by the BLM or private property, giving a mix of public access. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained 4-wheel drive roads or ATV trails.
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters camp along roads. There are several locations that have good flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. There are several towns located throughout the unit that offer lodging.
