Bordering Colorado and the state-owned roadless Little Creek area, east of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. This area supports a large elk herd with great hunting opportunties.

A lot of roads on high ridges and plateaus provide great access, making this a good place for hunters who want a high quality elk hunt but don't want to hike miles from roads. This is a good unit for glassing with great ATV access.

The south part is rocky and steep with some rugged canyons, long mesas with cliffs around the edges and drainages that mostly run from north to south. Most of the best hunting territory can be found at elevations between 7,500 and 8,800 feet. The north boundary is the White River and the northeast border is the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, which is closed to public hunters. Several drainages in the northern half of the unit run to the White River and east to Green River. Some areas have been burned. Feed and cover has grown dense in the burns, attracting elk. Many of the ridges in the unit have had habitat projects that provide great openings for the elk to feed. Some sandstone canyons are in low terrain along with hills and flats holding pinyon/juniper woods. Water is limited in low terrain.

High land is timbered with pines, firs, and aspens with grass, sagebrush, oak brush, and serviceberries on ridges and slopes. Middle elevations are primarily canyons with pockets of aspens, meadows, sagebrush, and scrub oak along with some pinyon/juniper. Low terrain is primarily covered in sagebrush or pinyon/juniper woodlands and oak brush.

Most land is public and hunters can hike or find ATV trails around almost all private tracts, which are about a square mile or less. To hunt the north half, take State Route 45 to a lot of maintained dirt roads that reach into canyons or follow ridges between canyons and draws. The south end can be reached from dirt roads that branch off roads that lead to exits on Interstate 70. Some of those roads cross flat lowlands before entering canyons and climbing to higher terrain. Several ATV and four-wheel-drive trails are on high ridges and plateaus. The Willow Creek WMA offers roadless hunting.

Almost all hunters camp along dirt roads. Camping is not allowed in the Willow Creek WMA. Take plenty of water. Motels can be found in Green River, Vernal, Jensen, and Dinosaur, Colorado, but are far from hunting areas.
