WHERE IS MOHAB?
Location:
MOHAB is based out of the Elmer E. Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center (ERWCC) on the TRMR. The 6,000 acre ranch lies in the foothills of the east slope of the Rocky Mountains near Dupuyer, Montana. The property abuts thousands of acres of national forest and Wilderness containing prime habitat for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, cougar, among other small mammals and birds. Grizzly and black bears frequently use this property and bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goats occur in adjacent national forest lands.
The Ranch and ERWCC serves as the base of operations for MOHAB. Crews - 12 persons per crew - depart the base for pre-established treks into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, a 1,009,356 acre Wilderness located west of the Ranch and ERWCC. The "Bob" straddles the Continental Divide with elevations ranging from 4,000 feet along the valley floors to more than 9,000 feet at mountain summits. This vast Wilderness is seven (7.34) times larger than Philmont (137,493 acres) with established trails. Several trailheads to the "Bob" are within walking and driving distance of the Ranch property.
