This unit can be rugged and unforgiving. There is very little “lower” elevation in this unit. As soon as you leave the valleys, you start gaining elevation, and you gain it fast. The mountains in this unit have steep, timber-covered ridges. 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.

The mountains in this unit have steep, timber-covered ridges. Like all mountains in Wyoming, you will find lodgepole pines, white pines, juniper and aspen trees throughout the range. Along the waterways, you are going to find thicker brush and pockets of willows.

The vast majority of this unit is designated as a Wilderness Area. There are areas for nonresidents to hunt without being in the Wilderness Area, but not many. For the most part, other than physically reaching areas hunters will be unrestricted when it comes to hunting locations.

Jackson will be your best bet for lodging and supplies. There are other little towns scattered throughout this area, but there is only one place with a grocery store. As for camping, there are quite a few campgrounds in and around Jackson, but be aware most are not open year-round; be sure to contact the Forest Service office and see if they are open beforehand. Generally, most hunters will opt for primitive camping options in the backcountry.
