Terrain

There are a lot of long and deep canyons and sagebrush flats. A few mountain ranges provide vantage points for glassing and finding antelope herds. Glassing conditions are prime throughout the area and will generally be one of the best methods in originally locating herds.

  • Roughly 552 square miles

  • 57.8% public land

  • Elevations from 6,200-8,600 feet

Most of the area is dominated by sagebrush, bitterbrush, juniper, pinyon and prairie grass. In the higher mountains, hunters can see aspen and some conifers. A few ranches and creek bottoms in the area will also have willows and cottonwood trees.

The majority of this area consists of BLM land with a few ranch lands that have good public access. The Ashley National Forest has access points along the western side of this unit. Most roads are marked with BLM signs.

Most hunters will camp remotely on BLM land in the unit with no permit required. Established Forest Service campsites can be found next to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir located at most boat docks. Lodging for multiple motels can be found north of the unit in Rock Springs and Green River.
