Quick Tips
- Hunt the high ground along the western border
- Can be lots of pressure along roads




The Bumping River and Bumping Lake dissect the northern third of this significantly roadless unit within the Wenatchee National Forest. Deep Creek Road is basically the only main road and separates the Bumping River drainage with the craggy peaks to the southeast. Approximately half of the west border is shared with Mount Rainier National Park up to Road 410, which serves as the northern boundary. This unit has fairly gentle topography, especially for roadless country. There have been a few smaller wildfires since 2001, with the 2017 American Fire in the northern portion being one of the largest. There are a few resident deer and elk throughout the unit, however, after heavy snows, populations definitely increase making for a better late season hunting experience. The best hunting typically takes place during late seasons after significant snowfalls have occurred in the high country.
Mount Aix attracts migrating game and presents a good late season opportunity.
