This unit is made up of scenic mountains in the Bridger-Teton National Forest near the west-central part of the state. Most of the northwest corner of the unit is comprised of the Bridger Wilderness area which also extends into neighboring units. When hunting this unit nonresidents will need to be aware of the wilderness boundaries unless hunting with a licensed guide or sponsoring resident.

This area is rugged and steep with elk found all throughout. This is a decent-sized area with plenty of country to hunt and is a good place for hunters to take branch-antlered bulls. Those willing to put in the time and hunt hard, will most likely find success.

This unit goes from the Green River valley floor, to the mountaintop divide on the east. Terrain is more gently contoured at lower elevations, but becomes more steep and rugged in higher elevations, with timberline at 10,000 feet.

Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

Public access here is good, with a couple of maintained roads and a few rough secondary roads. This area is also covered by a big trail system. Packing in with horses or backpack hunting is possible, but day hunts are more common. This area is bordered by Wyoming Highway 352 on the west and the divide between Green River and Pine Creek. Jim Creek can be found on the north, with Pine Creek to the east and U.S. Highway 191 to the south. There is also a small part of the Bridger Wilderness Area in the unit. Some of the more popular trailheads are New Fork Canyon, Glimpse Lake and Bluff Creek. ATV's and UTV's can be of help in rainy and wet conditions.

Low and middle elevations have grassy and sage-covered meadows mixed with Douglas fir and aspen. Higher up near timberline, the country has a thick spruce fir forest, with intermittent grassy slopes, rough ridges and sedge-filled alpine basins.

Pinedale is the closest town and has a lot of lodging options. Grocery stores, gas stations and other stores are also available. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. There are several designated campgrounds here. Hunters can also camp in remote locations.
