This unit is located in the northwestern portion of the state, north of Jackson. This unit is bordered by two National Parks, Yellowstone to the north and Teton National Park to the west. A large portion of this unit is also designated Wilderness Area. There is only a narrow strip of national forest, about a mile and a half wide and 20 miles long, that runs along State Highway 287/26.

Unless nonresidents have a resident with them with a guiding license, this unit is not the best choice.

This entire unit is located in the rugged mountains of Wyoming. This unit is north of State Highway 287/26, running from Dubois to Moran Junction, known as Togwotee Pass. In contrast to the surrounding mountains, the mountains in this unit peak out at around 10,000 feet and are not nearly as steep as the mountains in surrounding units.

Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

The mountains in this unit are your typical timber covered ridges with open meadows scattered throughout. Once above timberline, you are going to find what you would typically think of in an alpine environment -big basins with bald rocky mountain peaks. Like all mountains in Wyoming, you will find lodgepole pines, white pines, juniper and aspen trees throughout the range.

The majority of this unit is designated as a Wilderness Area, so nonresidents are limited unless they have a guide. A narrow strip of National Forest parallels State Highway 287/26, and is about a mile and a half wide.

If you decide to hunt this unit, you are limited to two towns for all of your supplies. If you are hunting the far eastern portion of the unit, Dubious will probably be your best option. Everywhere else, Jackson is going to be the best choice. Because of the distance you have to travel to these towns, it’s highly recommended that you bring all of your supplies with you. As for lodging and camping, there are quite a few options. On the pass there are two main lodges, Hatchet Resort and Togwotee Mountain Lodge. There are three established campgrounds along State Highway 287/26. If you are willing to travel further, there are more campgrounds closer to Dubois and Jackson.
