Colorado Elk Unit 16

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 16.

Unit 16 is a study in contrast for elk hunters: steep, timbered spines of the Park Range and Rabbit Ears Range falling into the wide sagebrush basin of North Park, working ground that runs from roughly 8,000 feet in the creek bottoms to above 11,000 feet along the divide. Unlike Colorado's dry southern ranges, water is abundant here, with perennial creeks and beaver ponds threading the willow bottoms and aspen and mountain grasses feeding animals through early fall. Our pack breaks down Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access (Rabbit Ears Pass, Highway 14, the checkerboard basin), plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
