Mountain Goat Hunting in Unit G07

Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit G07
CPW's material on unit G07 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its mountain goat live. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Summit and Clear Creek counties.
The lines of the unit: U.S. 6/I-70, Guanella Pass Rd. (USFS 381) and Pike-Arapaho National Forest boundary
CPW has unit G07 bounded on the north by U.S. 6/I-70; on the east by Guanella Pass Rd. (USFS 381); on the south by Pike-Arapaho National Forest boundary, Continental Divide, Argentine Pass trail, USFS 260 and 5; on the west by U.S. 6. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.
High ground inside the line: Front Range, Torreys Peak and Grays Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Front Range at 14,258 feet, Torreys Peak at 14,254 feet, Grays Peak at 14,247 feet, Mount Edwards at 13,842 feet and McClellan Mountain at 13,575 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Goats live above the trees on cliff and talus and come down only when weather makes them.
Holding ground: Grizzly Gulch, Kearney Gulch and Porcupine Gulch
Below them sit Grizzly Gulch at 10,294 feet, Kearney Gulch at 9,934 feet, Porcupine Gulch at 9,930 feet, Thurman Gulch at 9,820 feet and Wide-awake Gulch at 9,620 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.
Water: Soda Spring, Snake River Falls and Cold Spring
Named sources include Soda Spring, Snake River Falls and Cold Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
The herd this unit belongs to: MG-07
CPW does not manage mountain goat unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit MG-07, and unit G07 is one piece of it. The rest of MG-07 is unit G10, unit G15 and unit G16. Read a neighbour in the same herd before you read the state average — the herd, not the unit line, is what the agency is steering.

Open in Draw Odds EngineCPW's 2026 draw recap for mountain goat in unit G07, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:
- GEG07O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Either Sex, nonresident: 523 applicants for 1 licences, 0.2% drawn, 3 preference points needed
- GEG07O2R — Rifle, 2nd Season, Either Sex, nonresident: 348 applicants for 1 licences, 0.3% drawn, 3 preference points needed
- GEG07O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Either Sex, resident: 274 applicants for 2 licences, 0.7% drawn, 3 preference points needed
- GEG07O3R — Rifle, 3rd Season, Either Sex, resident: 161 applicants for 2 licences, 1.2% drawn, 3 preference points needed
Colorado runs a pure preference-point draw, so the point figure above is the requirement the agency published for that code in that year, not a forecast for the next one. There are 6 further code-and-residency combinations in the recap for this unit. Figures checked against CPW's own statistics pages on 2026-06-09.
