Oregon Elk Unit Mount Emily

Mount Emily rises abruptly out of the Grande Ronde Valley near La Grande, a steep timbered Blue Mountains escarpment that can climb 2,500 to 3,000 feet off a valley floor sitting around 2,700 feet, cresting on interior ridgelines pushing 5,000 to 6,200 feet, and for elk hunters that vertical relief is the whole game. We map the elevation bands where bunchgrass foothills give way to closed-canopy grand fir and larch, the primary canyon bottoms (Meacham and Five Points Creek country) that hold reliable water when the mid-slope seeps go dry, and the public-private checkerboard that pinches access on the valley fringe. The pack includes Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, 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.
