I have two friends who are extremely fit and like to cover miles of terrain. They hunt it and enjoy it, few elk but they do find some, and sometimes they get to make a stalk; most often what they see is mature bulls. It's a good local option for people accessing from the north for day/overnight hunts, if I was coming via I90 and/or wanted to maximize likelihood of seeing elk, I'd head south into the Yakima units. They are both up there today.
