Sawtooth Elk Zone

Central Idaho — Sawtooth Range · 4 Game Management Units

The Sawtooth elk zone groups Units 33, 34, 35, and 36. The hunting zone is a regulatory grouping, not a synonym for every recreation destination associated with the Sawtooth name. Use the included unit boundaries to check a planned Stanley-area or forest-road approach.

Choose your staging town after locating the particular unit and trailhead. Check the forecast, elevation, authorized vehicle routes, and any wilderness segment before deciding how far you can travel in a day.
