Sawtooth Wilderness, Idaho — out of Grandjean
The unguided option in SWO's exclusive 250-square-mile elk area: they pack you and your gear into a backcountry camp, and the hunt from there is yours. Two hunters minimum.

The unguided option in the same 250 square miles SWO holds exclusively for deer and elk. They pack you and your gear in on horses and mules, and the hunt from there is yours.
Two hunters minimum, from $3,200.
Their own gear list has a column headed DROP CAMPS containing exactly one item: a Garmin inReach or another satellite communication device. Take that as the shape of the trip.
This is the thinnest listing we hold, because it is sold as a single line at the foot of their guided elk page. Dates, length, what the camp contains and what is included are all unpublished — ask them.
