Area 86 covers the Wyoming Range immediately south of Hoback Junction—the timbered country between the Hoback River and the upper Greys River drainage. Elevations run from about 6,500 feet on the Hoback River canyon to over 10,500 feet on the Wyoming Range crest. The forest is heavy and continuous: aspen and lodgepole pine on the lower slopes, transitioning into Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole through the mid-elevations, with whitebark pine on the highest ridges. The country is wet by Wyoming standards because it catches the Pacific moisture funneled through the Snake River Canyon. Major drainages include the upper Greys River and tributaries of the Hoback. Battle Mountain, Sheep Mountain, and the Wyoming Range crest peaks anchor the high country. Bridger-Teton National Forest dominates. US-189/191 through the Hoback Canyon frames the north; the Greys River Road climbs south out of Alpine; forest roads off both reach into the timber. Pinedale and Jackson are the supply hubs depending on which side you're approaching from; Alpine has basics. Cell service drops past town. Quality elk in the dense cover, mule deer in the aspens, and grizzly bear country in earnest. The country is classic Wyoming Range—steep, timbered, and physically demanding, but rewarding for hunters willing to put in the work.
