Area 94 covers the upper Greybull and Wood River drainages in the southern Absaroka Range west of Meeteetse—classic volcanic Absaroka country climbing from the Bighorn Basin foothills to the Continental Divide. Elevations run from about 5,500 feet at the Greybull and Wood River canyon mouths to over 12,000 feet on the Absaroka high peaks. The lower country is sage and grass benches with Douglas fir on the cooler aspects; mid-elevations carry lodgepole, aspen, and Douglas fir in the canyon bottoms; above 9,000 feet the country opens into Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and alpine meadow. The Absaroka volcanic geology means crumbling ridges, slide-alder avalanche chutes, and the sort of loose-rock terrain that's hard on horses and boots alike. The Washakie Wilderness covers the upper portion.
Shoshone National Forest and the Washakie Wilderness dominate. Forest roads from Meeteetse climb into the Greybull and Wood River drainages. Meeteetse is a small, authentic Wyoming ranch town—gas, the Cowboy Bar, the Charles Belden Museum (the Belden Ranch photographs are some of the most iconic of the early 20th-century West)—and Cody is full service to the north. Cell service drops past town. Quality elk in the wilderness backstop, mule deer in the foothill mahogany breaks. Pack-in for the upper country; truck-camp hunting works on the lower forest roads. Grizzly bear country in earnest. The country is genuinely beautiful and genuinely tough.

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.
