Dean--please go to the following link, and scroll down to Pages 40-42. The 3 maps show where, under the modified Alternative 3b, Pack Goat Use will be allowed on the Shoshone, including the Wind Rivers.
Shoshone Final Environmental Impact Statement
Keep in mind that the Decision is currently going through the Objection Process, under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), so it is not final. Once it does become Final, probably sometime in early June 2018, implementation begins immediately. So, these will be the areas where pack goats will be allowed, and only then, by using a permit system. There are still lots of questions about the details of the permit system that the Forest Service needs to answer. So this is by no means in any way finalized. If you do contact the Shoshone, please let us know how the Forest Service answers your questions. Their mission is "caring for the land and serving people." They need to continue to provide customer service during this process. --Irene
