This area has a lot of high-country mountain goat hunting on high ridges and peaks that can be found in the southern part of the White Cloud Peaks.

There are good mountain goats that can be taken in this unit. Hunting is excellent for representative mountain goats with very few hunters failing to fill their tags most years.

Some of Idaho’s highest peaks can be found here, including part of the White Cloud Peaks in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The western edge of this unit is Idaho Route 75, in the Sawtooth Valley and is low in elevation. Between the valley and the high peaks are foothills and mountains that are mostly forested, especially on northern and eastern slopes and on mountain valleys and benches.

Most mountain goats live at or above timberline, with some also being found in the timber. There is not a lot of vegetation here except for some lichens, mosses, grasses, willows, wildflowers and low shrubs. Below the alpine, the terrain is mountainous with a lot of steep, barren slopes. Below the forests are foothills and flatlands that are covered in sagebrush or grass with pockets of brush and some scattered trees.

The best access roads here are Forest Road 209 and Forest Road 197. These can be good access routes for hunters on foot or horseback.

A lot of hunters camp near dirt roads, but there is also lodging available in Stanley. Little Boulder Campground is managed by the BLM in the northeastern corner of the unit, and has three campsites.
