There was still bulls at 10,000' during the third season where I was at. I think it's fairly weather dependant though.

Northwest Colorado is a big area. There are places the elk that can't get higher than 6500, 30 miles away they can get to 12000 feet.
Water will dictate more than anything this year.

North end of the Flattops. Get away from the people and find good water elk will be there. Only a few thousand feet difference between the low and high.
That's a tough one to be specific with. I've hunted that area for 25 years and they can be anywhere between 6k to 11k it all depends on weather, water and pressure. Find a well used drainage with good visibility and get in there before daylight and let hunting pressure be your friend. In 25 years, that method has yielded me 22 bulls and over half of those were opening morning.

No experience there, but a friend hunts it when drawn and has done well in muzzleloading season.
If you have onX app, I would look for water not far from north facing slopes (standard bedding areas on benches) with a pass going between them. Also if the weather cools off, hunt between the summer range and winter range zones (See onX).
You should do well if you put in the time and mileage.
Best of luck!

Agree. Late season cow tag last year I had to get up to 10k to find elk. Almost no snow on the ground at that time though.
