Most of it,
snow wheeling is a blast, a few of us in my jeepin group have kids so we like to take them out with us for those nowadays, it turns into more of a kid snow play day so that’s always a lot of fun. Back before Evans creek would shut down for the winter that place was a great place to snow wheel. The only time the trails were challenging is with a couple feet on the ground.
Elbe is always a great time, but it’s about that time of year where busy wild will be off limits for meLast time I was up at Evans creek would have been around 2002. Can't wait to go explore it again along with Elbe Hill.
Timber tamers club does some cool snow runs. It's nice to be with experienced people when going high with deep snow and slick roads. There's a lot of sketchy times where the tire tracks are luge tracks that I don't love.I ended up going to Walker Valley. Nice trails. I’m new to the PNW and heard snow wheeling is a thing out here.

My kids and 4 grandboys have been hounding me to take them to some snow to play. We normally head to Capitol Forest, find a dead-end forest road, cook a few hotdogs and let the boys wear themselves out. No snow there at this time, at least that I'm aware of, so I've been trying to find the nearest place to let them play, and have a little fun in the Jeep too.
I've been living here in Lacey since retiring from the Army, and have done some elk and deer hunting around Packwood and St. Helens area, but I'm not real familiar with some of these other places you guys mentioned. Not looking to get in any hairy situations, just a fun day playing in the snow with the family.
If you have any suggestions, or service road names, etc., let me know. Thanks.
Sorry but this has nothing to do with your recent post. Just trying to connect with others that have a "97 SportMy kids and 4 grandboys have been hounding me to take them to some snow to play.

Thanks for the info. I’ll get the maps out and start plotting.
Pricey? You have to "pay" to go play in the snow up there?Snoqualimie tubing is open, it is pricey though. I just went last weekend. We went when all that snow dropped at the passes and it shut down. I was a bit pissed having to drive the tundra and not the Jeep. If your looking for a cheaper option Hyak Sno park should be open which is like 5 mins down the road.
It’s a tubing /ski park. All the government sno parks were closed that were near us. A family of four to tube was $150. Let’s just say that was my first and last. I just bought some sleds and will be on the hunt for a nice downhill slope.Pricey? You have to "pay" to go play in the snow up there?
Are you familiar with any of the areas I talked about?
Fairly familiar with two of them, but not so much on the 410. Been that way in the summer on the bikes, but wasn't paying attention at the time for FS roads. I may head that way this weekend in the JL and do a little recon. I get a little antsy around a lot of people so I stay away from the sno-parks and pay to play areas. I've been stationed at Ft. Lewis several times and when the kids were little we would go to Rainer, Snoqualmie, Crystal etc., back in the 90's, and really enjoyed it. But a lot has changed in 30 years.Are you familiar with any of the areas I talked about?
