Default Reiter Pit is open ... but ...

I was reading in the local Everett Herald that Reiter Pit is open ... only to Motorcycles and it appears to be only one trail.
Has anyone heard different? can jeeps run the same trail? Man I used to love going up there …. Looks like it is getting closer to fully opening.

Don't have too high of hopes, it will re-open to 4x4's in a longer time than you hope. It's last on their list because of the impact they have on the land. My boss lives in index and takes his horses through there all the time. He says it's beautiful but still only limited use to get people ready for the rules. If they opened it up and let everyone in at once, (that would be EVERYONE because EVERYONE loved reiter) that place would be a mad house and trashed in no time, not enough deputized DNR to keep an eye on people.... They aren't even done with the jeep trails. It will be a blast when it's completely open tho!

Agreed, the old reiter is missed, it sucks that it was closed due to the morons that just destroyed everthing in thier path up there and then just left it and made the responsible wheelers a bad rapp. I'm sure the same people will go up and destroy things just out of spite.
Maybe one day I can show my kids that great area
