From barren deserts and badlands to lush mountains, hunters tend to enjoy varied scenery. Lowlands range from sprawling flats to low hills. In some places are steep canyons and rimrock draws can be found. Above 6,500 feet are foothills and mountains, some of them steep and a few rugged. Water sources are abundant in the high country, but less common in low terrain.

Most of the low country is open desert terrain. Yuccas, low grasses and shrubs cover most of the ground. High oak brush, junipers, pinyon pines and some larger conifers are found on the north-facing sides of many low-elevation canyons and draws. Above 7,000 feet most land is well-forested with ponderosa pines, pinyon pines and junipers, with many parks and open ridges.

Most roads to public land are open and hunters will have little issue in finding access options Hunters should carry good maps and GPS units to ensure that they don’t trespass on tribal or private land.
