Quick Tips
- High number of mountain goats can be viewed in the high elevation peaks
- Well-maintained hiking trails
- Tough unit for archery hunters
On The Ground
This unit has steep and rugged mountain peaks that are home to mountain goats. Hunters who come into the unit prepared can have a great hunt for a mature billy.
Utah has some good mountain goat hunting, with decent habitat and healthy populations. Hunters who are willing to put in the work can have a great hunt and a chance at a mature billy.
Terrain
The tops of the mountains are steep and rugged, perfect for mountain goats. Off of the mountain, there are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foothills. With all of the ridges and steep drainages, there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured.
Vegetation
The low elevations on this unit are dry, desert rolling hills, flats, and canyon country. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus, and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees can also be found in this low elevation. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines and oak brush, while sagebrush continues through this elevation. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests. The mountain tops have large grassy meadows with scattered ponds and thick aspen and conifer forest.
Access
National Forest or desert land managed by the BLM, giving great public access. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails.
ATVs recommended
Four-wheel drive recommended
Camping and Lodging
American Fork and Midway are just a couple of areas that have lodging, gas, groceries and other supplies. There are multiple campgrounds located around the mountain goat habitat that hunters can use.
