Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit Wasatch Mtns, Box Elder Peak
UDWR's material on unit Wasatch Mtns, Box Elder Peak stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its mountain goat live. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Utah County. It runs to about 79 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Salt Lake, Pole Line Pass and Snake Creek-North Fork
UDWR draws unit Wasatch Mtns, Box Elder Peak in Utah County with a boundary that runs on I-15, and on Salt Lake, Pole Line Pass, Snake Creek-North Fork and American Fork Canyon, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: Lone Peak, Box Elder Peak and Sugarloaf Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Lone Peak at 11,192 feet, Box Elder Peak at 11,062 feet, Sugarloaf Mountain at 11,037 feet, Hidden Peak at 10,944 feet and Miller Hill at 10,242 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.

Below them sit White Canyon at 7,758 feet, Dry Fork at 7,728 feet, Graveyard Flat at 7,588 feet, East Hamongog at 6,992 feet and First Hamongog at 6,988 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
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. Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 5,064 feet to 10,718 feet, averaging 7,756 — that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.
