This area has high, rugged peaks that are connected by long razorback ridges. Located northwest of Sun Valley, this unit offers opportunities to view mountain goats at long distances.

Hunting is excellent for a representative mountain goat with very few hunters failing to fill their tags most years. Unique terrain allows glassing of distant ridges and peaks.

This unit includes the north and south sides of the high ridge that connects Galena Peak and Silver Peak. The area also includes the west side of the ridge where Glassford Peak is and the huge East Fork of the Salmon River Canyon and its main tributaries. Goats in this area can be found at elevations of at least 8,500 feet, rarely venturing below timberline.

Hunters can hike or ride horses to reach goat country. Forest Road 120 is a good access road that goes up the East Fork of the Salmon River Canyon. Forest Road 158 starts at Idaho Route 75 on the south end of the unit and travels to Boulder Peak, a good jumping-off point for hikers. Some roads on the west side above Idaho Route 75 climb within 3,000 feet of the high ridge above.

Goats typically live at or above the timberline, which averages about 9,000 feet but can be higher in places. Conifer forests, sagebrush and grass-covered foothills, brushy creek bottoms and brushy and timbered draws can be found below the tree line. Although goats can drop into sparse timber, they almost never go into dense timber. Vegetation in goat country includes low shrubs, forbs, grasses, lichens, mosses, willows and wildflowers.

Some hunters camp along dirt roads or pack tents into the backcountry by horse or foot. Three campgrounds can be found up the North Fork of the Big Wood River and several campgrounds are located along Idaho Route 75. Lodging available in Ketchum includes Knob Hill Inn and Tamarack Lodge.
