Evans Creek is definitely worth a day trip!  However, I heard some reports from local guys last week, and there is still a TON of snow up there right now.  Some seriously built rigs barely made it to the parking lot area where a couple of the trails start.  The 311 trail may be accessible, however it would be extremely difficult this time of year.  I would say that a winch, at least one locker(prefer two), and aggressive 33″ tires to be the minimum to try it right now.

These were taken about 3 weeks ago, and it has been snowing up there since then.  The Wranglers in the pictures are running 37's for reference.

Reiter trails should be fine.  A few friends were up there last weekend and said it was great.

I'm scheduled to start overtime that weekend, so I can't make it.  And my jeep is in lots and lots of small pieces.  It might be a good idea to search up some recent trail maps of the area.  A lot of things have changed over the years.  There are some really good trails there now, and some that will leave lots of scars on your truck, Like “Trail of Doom” and “BYS”.  But “Grumpy's” and “Rhinoland” are lots of fun.  A local group called Reiter Trail Watch has basically adopted the trails up there, and do a good job of keeping them in shape.  They also like to call the area Reiter trails instead of Reiter Pit, to make it sound a littlle better

hey i'm in with my dad in his 94 yj spring over, 32″ mud tires, front and back lockers. does pretty good. minimum requirements should be different for each trip probably. and dpending on how much the capable trucks are wiling to pull the other trucks around all day

i agree fun is where its at   and since were going to rieter, Ahtz i deffinatly think you should come. i have no idea why my writing turned bold just now

I was checking out recent trip pictures from another group to Reiter Trails.  I didn't see any snow.  I don't recall any really tough trails but maybe it's changed. 

We're probably not going to stay the night either.  Just a long drive there and back.  I think it's around 3hrs from Portland IIRC.  You should definitely come! 

Awesome!  Good work.  We're talking about driving up Friday and coming back Sat.  Are you going to make the trip?
