It appears Idaho is out for this year, my hunting partner cannot go. So I'm looking at a solo Colorado hunt. Looking at 3 units. I would appreciate any info on 22, 45 or 68. Thanks

22 and 68 are heavily roaded. 45 has more wilderness, more terrain @/above timberline.

Thanks, so backcountry packing isnt an option for 68?

Part of the La Garita wilderness area is in the western edge of 68, only horse and foot travel in that area. Look here:

In left column, find Motor Vehicle Use Map, which shows every legal motorized trail & road on forest Service lands. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. But has a first elk hunt I will probably have to save the more challenging spot for future hunts. After reading previous threads from other newbies it seems like staying mobile (close to the truck) and backpack in once u find the elk will probably be my plan. I realize getting a shot is less than 5 percent just really want to hear one bugle.

68 is heavily roaded, but you can use it to your advantage. Not the most populated with elk, but has some beautiful terrain.
