Roan Plateau, Northwest Colorado. Here's the terrain, access, and license picture, plus how to hunt it under pressure.
A semi-arid plateau of deeply incised canyons and long mesas with cliffs; pinyon-juniper and sage cover the lower elevations while higher benches hold sage mixed with aspen and some dark timber.
Highly accessible public-land unit with an extensive trail and county-road network, though rain turns roads to mud and high-country snow can close them.
Early in the season glass water sources and canyon heads, and use the deep, steep canyons to separate yourself from road-accessible pressure.
