UT Bighorn Sheep Unit San Juan, San Juan River

UT San Juan, San Juan River — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access This is a sprawling high-desert unit spanning nearly 480,000 acres of public land (99.8%), ranging from low desert scrub at 3,533 ft to high-elevation terrain above 6,800 ft. The elevation span creates distinct habitat zones: lower canyon country and mesas give way to pinyon-juniper and eventually higher-elevation forest. Access is mixed — some ridges and drainages are reachable by vehicle or day-hike from established roads, but productive sheep habitat often sits remote and requires multi-day foot travel or stock use to access and pack out game..
