Second hand info for you: Access to 34 can be tough from Glenwood area if you get any weather coming through. Transfer rd can be nasty. Access up top is good via plenty of FS roads so expect to see lots of hunters up there.

Guys get into elk during first rifle in the canyon country on the southwest side of the unit, as a result of a combo of snow and pressure during bow season.

I would probably look for the steepest nastiest north facing canyon and start there while my legs were still good...
