How old are you and what kind of shape are you in? If you’ve never done any Western hunting or backpacking, you’ll be in a mad scramble the next two months to outfit yourself properly.
You’ll be getting there after the elk have been hunted for a month. That includes a week of muzzleloader. Your unit will have been hunted to death by the time you arrive. And the nature lovers from Denver will have hiked all over the unit.
Frame success as seeing beautiful country and actually seeing a few elk. Anything more than that is gravy.

I’m in my early 30’s and in good shape. Not great and I know it’ll be hell getting into the shape required. I haven’t fully committed to the trip yet because I want to collect more info on the area, elk hunting, etc. I love bow hunting for white tails and what I’ve read online is elk and deer hunting have less in common than I thought. I appreciate all of the info given.
Hearing that it’s a high traffic area and we will be there later in the season isn’t persuading me much. I got an offer to hunt velvet whitetails in KY on Labor Day so might do that instead (can’t do both).
