Hey DJ, where you coming from?
None of these guy's would steer you wrong or try to give you undue advise...
Get a mapping system of the regions (Delorm/Mapquest/National Geographic) and check it out for yourself...
I'd also purchase a BLM map of the region you’re going into
Any of the wilderness areas in the country aren't going to allow motorized vehicles, if this is what your intending to hunt
Most people that live out in these regions have worked hard to find a "spot", so are pretty leery about just giving out coordinates to some one who is just posting a question off the net
I can tell you one thing, there are elk all over the place, you just need to learn what to look for to find them
I'll give you a little advise on that...
If it's early in the season, look to the cooler sides of the hills for bedding areas
Look for parks (big open areas) that you can glass first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon (feeding areas)
The parks seem to be better if there's sage in them
One big thing, don't be disappointed if your not successful
If your new to elk hunting and a do it yourselfer, there will be a lot of learning lessons before you start to get elk consistently
Good luck
