Unit 682 is an Archuleta and Conejos County subunit covering portions of the South San Juan country—the high wilderness south of Wolf Creek Pass between the Continental Divide and the New Mexico border. Elevations climb from about 8,500 feet in the lower Navajo and San Juan River drainages near Pagosa Springs to over 13,000 feet on the higher South San Juan crest, including Summit Peak (13,300) and Conejos Peak (13,172). The country is some of the most remote, least-pressured high country in Colorado—the South San Juan Wilderness covers vast roadless expanses where motorized access is genuinely impossible. Vegetation steps from aspen and Gambel oakbrush on the lower benches, into Douglas fir and lodgepole pine on the mid-slopes, dense subalpine spruce-fir on the higher reaches, and alpine tundra with high meadow systems and rocky cirques above 11,500 feet treeline. The Navajo, Blanco, and Conejos River drainages all head in the unit. Mule deer, elk, black bear, and the rare grizzly-sighting rumors all hold the country. San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests cover the country with the South San Juan Wilderness occupying enormous chunks of the high core (motorized prohibited—boots and horses, period). US-160 runs east-west through Pagosa Springs over Wolf Creek Pass; FS roads from Pagosa, Chromo, and Platoro climb into the wilderness boundary; the East Fork and West Fork of the San Juan provide trailhead access. Pagosa Springs is full service for fuel, food, lodging, and gear; Chromo and Platoro are tiny outposts. Cell service is poor across most of the unit and gone in the wilderness. The pack-out is hard, the country is genuine wilderness, and quality bulls come out for hunters who put in the work.
