This is a large National Forest unit with just a tad of private, mainly in the north above Timothy Meadow and between Longmire Meadow and Kaner Flat. The border runs a ridgeline from Blowout Mountain on the northern tip, down past Naches Pass, Arch Rock to Yakima Peak along the Mount Rainier National Park. From there, the boundary follows the American, Bumping and Naches Rivers to the southernmost tip. The eastern and northeastern border winds its way along a number flats and ridgelines. There is a large portion of roadless between Crow Creek Lake, Little Crow Basin, Lake Basin and Fifes Peak, however, this is also where the very large 2017 Norse Peak Wildfire burned. Elk and deer both are scattered and can be anywhere within this unit.
The best hunting typically happens in the late seasons after significant snowfalls in the high country.
