A high elevation unit located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Made up of the Gore Mountain Range in the Arapaho National Forest, including the Eagles Nest Wilderness. This unit is rugged and remote, but has healthy herds of mule deer, moose and elk.

The high country of this unit is rugged, remote and challenging. Hunters prepared, willing to hunt hard, and up to the challenge will have a chance at mule deer bucks. No antelope live in this unit and moose tags are available for residents and non-residents alike.

The western border of the unit is along the backbone of the Gore Mountain Range, a rugged rocky mountain range with a couple of 13,000 foot peaks. Off of those peaks are basins, with many of them holding high alpine lakes and ponds. From the basins there are creek drainages that run to the east down to the valley floor.

There are a few primitive four-wheel drive roads and ATV trails branch off of well-maintained roads that access much of the national forest land. Backcountry trails are marked for hiking and horseback riding. There are some areas of the lower elevations that are private property.

Low elevations—Flats and rolling hills covered with sagebrush and grass, along with scattered cottonwood trees along creeks. Some areas have ponderosa pines and oak brush. Middle elevations—Mostly spruce and fir trees mixed with large, scattered aspen groves along with flats covered with grass and wildflowers on ridges. High elevations—Steep slopes leading to the peaks above timberline are covered in grass, wildflowers and loose scrabble.

To camp in the wilderness areas and much of the high country, you must backpack or pack with horses. Good camping sites on public land along roads are near hunting areas, but expect to see other hunters. Frisco and Silverthorne both offer lodging and are located on the southeast side of the unit.
