Fishing can be done from either drift boats or walk and wade.
An abundance of westslope cutthroat, bull and rainbow trout are available in the largely undiscovered waters.
Many alpine lakes in the area, some near a road, and some requiring several hours hike.
The Elk River has been proclaimed one of the best cutthroat fishing streams on the continent.
Wildlife that is commonly viewed while fishing includes elk, moose, deer, bear, lynx, wolves, and occasionally bighorn sheep and mountain goats.
