Depends on what you have done to your jeep? Walker has some pretty exciting spots as well. Welcome to the PNW!!!

bone stock with the exception of some larger than stock goodyear duratracs I picked up from someone. Plan on 33's once I get over there and still debating whether to lift, leveling kit, or just cut the fenders so the 33's won't rub.

I was thinking of going this Saturday if you change your mind. I'm not sure if it's worth the drive for you yet. I haven't been there since they closed it down for "remodel" a while back. I wanted to go check it out. I know that it is stock friendly tho seeing as a gang of stock rover's went. From what I understand, walker is almost guaranteed body damage, but I've never been so I can't honestly tell you.

And I just realized I accidentally hijacked this thread, my apologies to the OP.

Nwjeepn.com is a good resource although a little outdated. Once my jeep recovers from Moab I can put a run together for some of the new people.

Walker Valley is fun, plenty of easy scenic stuff. Only challenging if you look for it.
Rieter is not worth the drive!
The higher altitude stuff won't be ready for playtime until June or later. There are plenty of places to explore by Mount Baker and along Hwy 20.

Lotta new trails at Reiter. Big improvement since you were there last. Not a good place for a stock rig though.
