The small town of Beaver, Utah is located on the west side of the unit. Highway 89 is the eastern boundary with interstate 15 acting as the western boundary. A few trophy class mountain goats are harvested every year. This can be a physically challenging unit.

The Beaver mountain goat permit is the most popular permit of them all. Good access to the high elevations and a high number of animals on the unit makes this unit very popular and hard to draw. Hunters who do draw this tag will have a chance to harvest a B&C class animal. This is a great unit for archery hunters looking to harvest a mountain goat.

Much of the Beaver unit is very steep and rugged. There are a number of good roads that will take you to different areas of this unit. Most of the deep canyons run east and west and most of the canyons will have small creeks that run the length of the canyon. A lot of the canyons on this unit can be very deep and hunters need to be ready for steep elevation drops. Some of the canyons will have a maintained hiking or horseback trail that runs up the bottom of the canyon giving hunters access to the high elevations. There are a number of trailheads that start at high elevations, alleviating the amount of elevation a hunter will need to cover to access prime goat areas. Hunters will find glassing spots from roads that allow them to view and glass the mountain goats. This allows hunters to look into steep rugged areas without giving much physical effort. There is very little private property on this unit. This is one of the higher elevation units in the southern part of Utah. Mount Baldy sits at an elevation of 12,133 feet above sea level.

The high elevations contain dense Engelmann spruce that mingle with Ponderosa pines and fir trees. This unit has some alpine tundra found at the high elevations areas and particularly around the high peaks. Middle elevations have Douglas fir, aspens, Manzanita, grass meadows and sagebrush, and low elevations have pinion/juniper, sagebrush, oak brush, grasses and other browse. Water is found everywhere with springs, small lakes and perennial streams.

There are some well-maintained roads that a hunter can use to access the high elevation parts of this unit. State road 153 will give hunters access to much of the high elevation areas where the mountain goats live. Most of the roads are maintained through the summer and fall months. Snow or heavy rainfall can make some of the smaller dirt roads difficult to navigate.

Beaver and Marysville have lodging, gas, groceries, and other supplies. Camping is permitted on most public land. There are several designated campgorunds throughout the unit that make great places for trailers and tents.
