AZ 17B — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Unit 17B spans nearly 430,000 acres across a dramatic elevation gradient from low-country desert scrub near 2,300 feet to high-elevation mixed conifer and aspen above 7,600 feet. This vertical spread creates distinct habitat zones: ponderosa pine and oak woodland in mid-elevations, with cooler mixed-conifer forest at the top. Nearly 87% public land provides excellent access opportunities across national forest and public holdings, reducing reliance on private permission and offering multiple entry corridors. Road networks support vehicle access to trailheads throughout much of the unit, with backcountry terrain available for hunters..
