At a Glance
East of Basalt and north of the Fryingpan River are thousands of acres of White River National Forest and state lands. Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimate a herd of 70 Rocky Mountain bighorns.
Elevations reach over 12,000' and drop down to 7,000' along the Fryingpan River. The majority of the terrain is south facing, making it great winter range. You will spend most of your time glassing to locate trophy rams. The timbered slopes and basins will make this a challenging hunt.
Quick Tips
- Use the best optics you can get
