Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit Wasatch Mtns, Timpanogos
UDWR draws an exact line around unit Wasatch Mtns, Timpanogos 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 Utah and Wasatch counties. It runs to about 97 square miles.
What bounds unit Wasatch Mtns, Timpanogos
UDWR draws unit Wasatch Mtns, Timpanogos in Utah and Wasatch counties with a boundary that runs on USFS Road 114, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Mount Timpanogos, Roberts Horn and Mahogany Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Mount Timpanogos at 11,728 feet, Roberts Horn at 10,968 feet, Mahogany Mountain at 8,988 feet, Big Baldy at 8,723 feet and Elk Point at 8,622 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: Primrose Cirque, Sagebrush Flat and Pine Flat
Below them sit Primrose Cirque at 8,231 feet, Sagebrush Flat at 7,724 feet, Pine Flat at 7,366 feet, Giant Staircase at 7,267 feet and Bear Canyon at 6,465 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.
Water: Cascade Springs, Sulphur Spring and Decker Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 381 mapped stream reaches, 4 lakes, 60 stock tanks and 43 springs. Named sources include Cascade Springs, Sulphur Spring, Decker Spring and Stewarts Cascades. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
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 National Forest 60%, Private / Other 32% and State Trust 8%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 4,745 feet to 10,939 feet, averaging 7,133 — that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.
