You can legally shoot on any National Forest land unless it has been closed by order. Go to Skykomish on Hwy. 2, stop in the Ranger Station there on the highway, inquire about shooting up the Beckler River Road, there are at least two areas where the Forest Service would have you go to reduce the impact on other places, Rapid River and Jacks Pass. Both are safe areas, good scenery driving to them, and makes a fine outing. Rapid River is just for plinking, Jacks Pass has a little more range, not much though, they are just for recreationists. Passenger cars are fine on either road.

Be sure to pick up your brass, and any more you can find, no bottles, no garbage, pack it out, and be safe. Don't shoot the trees or across any road, stream, near a campground or occupied area, that kind of thing.

You can get a sandwich at the Skykomish Deli, or eat in town there, the Deli is good and the Cascadia serves a good breakfast or lunch. It's a depressed area, so they need your custom.
