Including part of Denver, this mainly private unit blends from the urban corridor east of the Front Range, through suburbs to open prairie. The land is nearly all flat, supporting elk, mule deer, whitetail deer and pronghorn antelope.

This unit contains some of of the biggest cities and suburbs in the Intermountain West, but the potential for taking a trophy size animal is still decent. Mature bull elk, mule deer, whitetails and even antelope are seen close to golf courses, nature trails and sometimes homes.

Varies from a downtown urban area and suburbs on rolling hills to ponderosa pine hillsides, some rocky canyons, long mesas with steep sides to several drainages, such as South Platte, West Sand, Kiowa and Box Elder creeks.

Hunters can expect to pay to hunt private land, which occupies about 86% of the unit. Interstate 25 along the western edge allows access to the middle of the unit along Colorado Route 86 while Colorado Route 83 travels north to south and connects with many county roads heading eastward. Interstate 76 and Colorado Highway 52 are in the northwest. Elbert-Bennett Mile Road runs north and south along the eastern boundary. Good secondary roads are rarely affected by bad weather.

Grasses, shrubs and trees provide food and shelter, even in urban and suburban neighborhoods, while rolling hillsides are covered with oak brush, ponderosa pine and some junipers. Along creeks and gulches are cottonwoods and willows. Further east of cities and towns are open grasslands mixed with dry farms.

Cherry Creek State Park charges year round for camping at about 150 campsites. East of Denver on Colorado Route 83. Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and Denver offer many amenities, such as RV campgrounds, motels, hotels, restaurants, medical facilities and fuel stations.
