Comprised of high plains desert and the Medicine Bow Mountain Range, this unit can be found in the southeast part of the state. There are a lot of BLM and state lands here, as well as a part of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. It is bordered by Wyoming Highway 130 on the north, the Laramie River-North Platte River divide, and Wyoming Highway 230 on the east.
Decent populations of elk are found here along with a healthy distribution of public lands. Nonresidents will need to be aware of wilderness boundaries here.
