With Fall season over, its back to the maps to plan the 2020 season. This will now be my third year hunting and I would like to push into the alpine and get a even further away from roads. When looking at videos and images from alpine hunts, I see these gorgeous mountain tops that are vastly open and perfect for glassing big areas. I have been looking through a few map sources and am hard pressed to find ranges that aren't littered with forest. Granted I am not wanting to drive 12 hours to get to a spot so that does limit my scope some.
Was just wondering what are some ways I could filter down my search. Are there certain elevations you have to hit before you can see this type of environment? Do they exist on the coastal mountain range, or do you have to push more inland? Don't need specific spots (though I'd be plenty greatful) but I really am hoping for some tips that will help me explore the high country.
