There aren't any hence it is difficult to hike and hunt. Odds are you will start at around 8000 ft base camp and travel up from there.
It is ATV/Road restricted zone. Any trail you find is hike or horse back only. NO ATV's.
If your looking for a unit where there are many roads trails accessible by motorized vehicles, your looking in the wrong unit. The local outfitters are notorious for tuning up off roaders and rightfully so.
Like stated above, glassing is your best bet. Like I stated before and I'm not being rude, the Elk are where you find them. The local wolves keep them moving constantly. One poster put it well, these Elk are more like Mountain Goats than Elk. Hell, I have seen Big Horn Sheep lower than the Elk on may occasions.
Good luck hauling one of those Elk out.
