Southwest of Green River, this desolate unit borders Lake Powell and Capital Reef National Park.

Elk are dispersed and are low in number, small pockets of habitat hold most of the elk in the unit. Some desolate, remote areas can be found in this unit. Hunters who do not know the unit well or do not have access to private land here may consider getting tags in other parts of the state.

Lake Powell is on the southwest end of the unit and known for stunning red sandstone cliffs. The San Rafael Swell along State Route 24 has deep, scenic canyons. Capitol Reef National Monument is also in the middle of the unit. The Green River runs into the Colorado River and is the eastern boundary.

Low brush and desert grasses are the main plants where antelope live along with mixed pockets of scrub oak, pinyon pines, and junipers. Small stock ponds and seeps provide water to wild game and domestic livestock. Above the antelope country are mountains where forests of ponderosa pines and aspens grow.

Maintained dirt roads will give hunters access to many places. State Routes 24 and 95 will be the main access points that run through the heart of the unit and connect with secondary roads. Cathedral Valley and Caineville Wash road run north and south in the northwest region of the unit.

Hanksville and Green River have lodging, gas, groceries and other supplies. Camping is allowed on most public land.
