ID Elk Unit 16

ID 16 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access ID 16 spans rugged country from low-elevation valley bottoms (1,232 ft) to alpine peaks above 7,700 ft, offering diverse habitat across a 249,000-acre footprint. With 86% public land, the unit provides substantial opportunity for self-directed access and exploration. Hunters can work multiple elevation bands throughout a season—lower drainages in early periods, higher country as conditions permit. Road access to trailheads and public land is generally available, though much of the high country requires foot travel into remote terrain. The broad elevation range means varied elk habitat: riparian corridors and sagebrush..
