Colorado Elk Unit 28

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 28.

Middle Park's southeastern rim rises from an 8,500-foot valley floor to the alpine tundra of the Continental Divide, and for elk hunters that vertical stack is the whole game. Unit 28 climbs past Byers Peak (12,804 feet) and the Vasquez Peak high country, with the Fraser River and its named feeders (St. Louis, Vasquez, and Ranch creeks) watering willow bottoms while elk work the 9,500 to 11,000 foot spruce-fir benches once frosts push them off the tundra. Two wilderness cores keep pressure near the valley trailheads. Our pack breaks this down across Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary.

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.
