Colorado Unit 53 Description

Unit 53 West Elk Mountains: Delta and Gunnison Counties
bounded on the North by the North Fork of the Gunnison River, Gunnison CR
12 (Kebler Pass Rd.), Kebler Pass and Ohio Pass; on the East and South by
Gunnison River-North Fork of Gunnison River divide and Curecanti
Pass, Smith Fork-Curecanti Creek divide, Smith Fork-Dyer
Creek divide and Delta-Montrose County line; on West by Colorado 92.

Winter weather is almost guaranteed during any season in this area which
includes the high country of the West Elk Wilderness. Altitude ranges from
5,400 feet near Hotchkiss to more than 12,000 feet in the wilderness. The
variation in elevations and the topography creates volatile weather at all
times of year. GMU 53 contains rough terrain and access is on rugged 4WD roads and
foot/horse trails. Hunters should be prepared to hunt in difficult terrain.
Packing an animal out in this area is challenging. Do not count on moving
a vehicle close to the kill site.
