Area 88 covers the upper Greys River drainage running between the Salt River Range and the Wyoming Range—heavy-timber country deep enough that you feel genuinely far from the road grid. Elevations run from about 6,200 feet on the Greys River bottom to over 10,000 feet on the surrounding crests. The forest is mature: lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and aspen on the lower slopes, transitioning into whitebark pine and alpine meadow at the high elevations. The willow-and-alder bottoms along the Greys River and tributaries (Murphy Creek, Lake Creek, and others) are exceptional moose habitat. The country is wet, the deadfall is thick, and the elk find the kind of cover that lets them die of old age. Bridger-Teton National Forest dominates. The Greys River Road from Alpine is the spine of access; forest roads off it climb into the side drainages. Alpine is the supply point on the Snake River—gas, a couple of motels, the Three Rivers Resort. Cell service is gone past town. Quality elk in genuinely remote country, moose in the willow bottoms (one of Wyoming's premium moose hunts for those who draw), mule deer in the aspens, and grizzly bear country in full. The drive up the Greys River Road is itself part of the experience—if you've never done it, the long gravel road through aspen-and-spruce is a postcard you should mail to yerself. Area 88 around Wheatland is a mixed mule deer, whitetail, and pronghorn unit where nonresident deer tags typically require 1-3 preference points and antelope tags draw at 0-1 points. No wilderness designations, no grizzly bears, and no significant public-land blocks — this is ranch country where access is everything. BLM and state trust sections are scattered but often landlocked by private land. The Walk-In Area (WIA) and PLPW programs provide the most realistic public access options. The area is known for solid mule deer in the Laramie Range foothills (155-175 class) and an expanding whitetail population in the North Platte River corridor that produces 130-150 class bucks. Pronghorn on the surrounding prairie are a bonus species. Success correlates directly with landowner relationships — hunters with established ranch connections consistently outperform those hunting fragmented public parcels.
