Quick Tips
GPS or a compass will be a necessity for any off-trail travel
Very rugged and steep terrain should only be traversed by those experienced in similar areas; use of trekking poles is recommended
This unit is quite remote, plan on gearing up prior to entering the unit as supplies will be very limited and require some driving no matter where you set up base camp
Salmon Falls Interpretive Area is located in this unit, and if you have never seen a fish run in your life, it's worth a quick trip in the middle of the day
This unit sits to the northwest of the famous Mount Rainier National Park. Goats can be scattered all across this unit. Spike camp hunting is a good idea in this unit, but not required as there are a number of trailheads within 2-3 miles of where the goats live, so having a base camp is not out of the question. Fife Peaks is the dominant terrain feature in the unit and tends to be the focal point of past goat hunters. With multiple trails heading into this area, access isn’t bad at all.
The 2017 Norse Peak fire ripped through this unit to the tune of 50,000+ acres and is the major buzz in this unit.
