Chinook Pass Outfitters

Chinook Pass Outfitters operates under a special use permit through the USDA Forest Service and Wenatchee National Forest. Paul Wilson runs the outfit from two base locations—Bumping Lake on Highway 410 (nine miles west of Whistlin Jack's) and Crystal Mountain. They handle guided hunts, horseback riding trips, game packing, and backcountry camping for anyone serious about accessing remote hunting and fishing territory.

The exclusive hunting areas cover four big game management units: - GMU 346 - GMU 352 - GMU 356 - South Rainier Unit

This gives hunters legitimate access to proven elk, deer, and mountain game country without competing on public land.
