One of the larger units in the state, it has a huge variation in terrain and habitat. Large stretch of desert and red slickrock canyon country leads up to the La Sal Mountain range. Off of the mountain tops are large, steep timber-covered canyons leading down to the desert floor.

Low elevations in this area have dry, desert rolling hills and flats. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus, and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees can also be found in lower elevations. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines and oak brush while the sagebrush continues through this elevation as well. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests.

Much of the unit is part of the Manti-La Sal National Forest or desert land managed by the BLM, giving good public access. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails. Arches National Park is part of the unit and is closed to hunting. There are also two WMAs located on the unit. The primary access points are Miner's Basin, Beaver Basin, Deep Creek, Dark Canyon, Carpenter, and Lackey Basins.

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. Moab and Green River are the nearest towns and offer lodging and services.
