This Wenatchee National Forest GMU has a great mix of areas with road access in the east, and roadless backcountry hunting opportunities in the west. The Cascade Range forms the very western tip and is comprised of Old Snowy Mountain, Ives Peak, Gilbert Peak and Goat Rocks. Off the northeast side are several glaciers, including Conrad, Meade and McCall, that feed the headwaters of the North Fork Tieton River. In 2018, the large Miriam wildfire burned from the North Fork Tieton Road, to the northwest, and depending on spring moisture, could provide some excellent tender protein graze along the timbered edges and a great spot to glass, especially away from any roads. The southern border has a handful of private land checkerboarded sections and borders the Yakama Nation Reservation. The northern border includes Rimrock Lake on the Tieton River, with the southeastern border following the Divide Ridge to the northeast along the Ahtanum State Forest.

Check the Lost Lake area for elk.

Rocky alpine summits, which are part of the Cascade Range in the west, tower over the GMU. Steep talus slopes and cliffs drop over 2,000-ft in under a mile down to the timber line. The North and South Fork Tieton Rivers drain snow and glacier run off to the east, and ultimately to the Yakima Valley. Rimrock Lake and its small neighbor to the west, Clear Lake, dam a significant amount of water for human use down in the valley and provide additional outdoor recreational opportunities.

Conifer forests with pine, douglas fir and grand fir cover the majority of this unit. Short season alpine forbs, lichen, and grass grow above timberline in the rocky peaks of the Cascade Range offering excellent high-altitude summer grazing. Tieton River valleys offer a mixture of narrow buckbrush choked draws and slower moving wide meadows with succulent grass.

There is a lot of public land with very little road access. Bumping Lake offers road access deep into the unit. From there, there are a few roads and trailheads where you can start your day or overnight trip.

Primitive camping is allowed in the National Forest for most of the year, but various fire bans and forest road closures may happen, so double check any restrictions or permits necessary prior to your trip. If you are more interested in a bed and a shower and being closer to gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, your best options are Naches and Selah, which are well outside of the GMU.
