CO Moose Unit 56

CO 56 — Terrain & Hunt Character CO 56 spans 6,996 to 14,247 feet across 152,171 acres in high country, with 74% public land access. The wide elevation range supports diverse habitat from lower mixed conifer and aspen through subalpine terrain to alpine peaks. This vertical relief creates varied hunting conditions and moose habitat concentrated in higher-elevation willow parks and riparian corridors. The majority-public-land composition favors independent access and scouting. Hunters should expect challenging alpine and subalpine terrain with limited road access at higher elevations; lower portions may have better trailhead and vehicle access.
