This unit is located in the Northern Cascade Mountains approximately 9 miles from the Canadian border on the northernmost tip. Mount Baker is the dominant terrain feature in this area with a summit of over 10,000 feet. Avalanche Gorge is considered the premier unit out of the three subunits that surround Mount Baker, and often holds the majority of the goats that live in this area. There is only one established trailhead in this unit that gets you close to where the goats live, and reports suggest that it is not very well maintained.

You will likely have lots of company, especially during the early weeks of the hunt and on the weekends, as this is a very popular recreation and hiking area. Once you get into the higher elevations, you will get past a majority of the crowds.
