This unit is located in the Northern Cascade Mountains approximately 6.5 miles from the Canadian border. Mount Baker is the dominant terrain feature in the area with a summit of over 10,000 feet. Chowder Ridge is considered one of the premier goat hunts in the state, and although physical, when compared to the other two units on the west and south side of this unit, it is by far the least physical, mostly because the goats have been known to hang out in 5,000-6,000 feet of elevation instead of the very top of the unit. Skyline Divide Trail allows easier access into some of the higher elevations.

This is the least physical of all three of the units found around Mount Baker. However, it is also one of the most popular destinations for campers, hikers, and other visitors to the forest, as the Skyline Divide Trail is one of the only established trailheads in the area that will get you up into the higher elevations. Expect company, especially on the weekends.
