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.

Most of the unit is made of conifer forests, sagebrush flats, prairie grass ridge lines, wildflower fields and nutrient rich grasses above timberline. Willow patches are found along creek bottoms with cottonwood trees also present in lower areas.

Lower elevations have limited access due to private property in the area. Wyoming Game and Fish run properties like Spence Moriarity WHMA, Inberg/Roy WHMA and Whiskey Basin WHMA. National Forest areas have maintained roads that run throughout the area. Wilderness areas have restricted travel with no motorized travel permitted.

Camping is permitted inside of the National Forest with no permit required. Lodging, grocery stores and restaurants are located south central of the unit in Dubois.
