Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit High Uintas Kamas
UDWR draws an exact line around unit High Uintas Kamas and says nothing about where the mountain goat stand inside it. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Duchesne, Summit and Wasatch counties.
The lines of the unit: Hayden Pass and Uinta Mountains
UDWR has unit High Uintas Kamas Boundary begins at the junction of SR-150 and the Summit-Duchesne county line at Hayden Pass (summit of the Uinta Mountains); north along SR-150 to the USFS boundary; west and south along this boundary to SR-150 near Samak; east and north on SR-150 to the Summit-Duchesne county line at Hayden Pass. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.
High ground inside the line: Bald Mountain, Reids Peak and Mount Watson
Named high points inside the unit include Bald Mountain at 11,947 feet, Reids Peak at 11,668 feet, Mount Watson at 11,514 feet, Mount Marsell at 11,309 feet and Notch Mountain at 11,257 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: The Deli Dell, Erickson Basin and Gold Hill Pass
Below them sit The Deli Dell at 9,915 feet, Erickson Basin at 9,913 feet, Gold Hill Pass at 9,908 feet, Shingle Mill Flat at 9,848 feet and Norway Flat at 9,596 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.
Before you apply: who owns this unit
A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land.
