Area 93 covers the Teton Wilderness country adjacent to the Yellowstone Park boundary—the upper Yellowstone River headwaters reach and the country approaching the Thorofare on the Wyoming side. Elevations run from about 7,000 feet on the river bottoms to over 12,000 feet on the Continental Divide peaks. This is some of the most remote country in the lower 48: dense Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole pine on the slopes, willow-and-alder meadows in the bottoms, and alpine country above timberline. Major drainages include the upper Yellowstone, Thorofare Creek, and Atlantic Creek. The Two Ocean Plateau—where Atlantic Creek runs east to the Atlantic and Pacific Creek runs west to the Pacific—is one of the iconic geographic features in North America. The Park boundary forms the northern edge.
Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness dominate. Trailheads off the Pacific Creek Road and Buffalo Valley Road are the entry points. Moran has gas; Jackson is the supply hub. Cell service is gone. This is true wilderness pack-in country—the Thorofare is adjacent and the experience is comparable: 30-mile-plus pack-ins, multi-day camps, horse strings essential for most hunters. Quality elk migrating off the Yellowstone Plateau, with the bulls that use this country counting among the largest in the West. Core grizzly bear country. The country is genuinely demanding and genuinely rewarding for hunters with the skill and stamina to handle it.

Recent Trophy Scores · 2020–2025
Trophy score data is tracked by county, so the overlap with GMU boundaries is approximate. These numbers tell you whether the area is capable of growing big animals — they do not indicate public vs. private land. Big elk can come from anywhere; most elk in the lower 48 trace back to Yellowstone stock that was transplanted west after the species was nearly extirpated in the early 1900s.
