ID Bighorn Sheep Unit 26

ID 26 – Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access ID 26 spans 381,288 acres of entirely public land across steep, high-elevation terrain (3,400–9,500 ft). Nearly 90% is designated wilderness—this is a serious backcountry proposition. Access demands self-sufficiency: multi-day foot travel, high-elevation scrambling, and the physical conditioning to hunt alpine sheep habitat. Low-elevation entry corridors exist, but most huntable country requires a week or more of wilderness navigation. The unit suits experienced mountaineers comfortable with route-finding, camp moves, and minimal trail infrastructure.
