Located in the northern part of the state, this unit has good habitat and healthy elk herds. With varied terrain and good public access, this is a good unit for anyone wanting to experience great elk hunting.

A hunter wanting a fun hunt with a chance for elk will enjoy this unit. This unit has good public access with remote areas.

The tops of the mountains are steep and rugged. Off of the mountain there are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foot hills. With all the ridges and steep drainages there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured.

The low elevations in this unit have grass and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines, oak brush and 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 Wasatch National Forests, giving great public access. Mirror Lake Highway provides great access to the southern portion of the unit. 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. There are some sections of private property at middle elevations.

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. Heber and a couple of other towns that are spread throughout the unit offer lodging depending on what part of the unit you hunt.
