Consisting of a narrow mountain range that juts out of the desert floor to heights of more than 12,000 feet, this unit has a good number of elk that summer in upper basins and aspen and conifer forests and winter in pinyon/juniper and sagebrush foothills.

In the past 30 years, elk numbers and quality have increased. Hunters who work to get in the better parts of the mountain range typically find bigger bulls. When pressured, some elk travel to bordering Goshute tribal lands. Mature bulls tend to seek out canyons with no vehicle access. Pack horses are recommended and hunters need to be prepared physically.
