CO Bighorn Sheep Unit S26 — TAYLOR RIVER
AI Scout Preview
CO S26 — TAYLOR RIVER. Terrain & Access S26 spans 257,119 acres of high alpine and subalpine terrain between 7,756 and 13,333 feet elevation, with nearly all land in public ownership. This elevation range supports classic bighorn sheep habitat: steep mountain faces, alpine ridges, and rocky terrain characteristic of Colorado's west-slope ranges.
