WALKER VALLEY UPDATE
If the gate is locked, park off the side of the road, so not to block traffic, and walk around the gate. The collecting are is less than 250 feet from the gate. Be sure to have a Discover Pass for each vehicle or you might get ticketed as the quarry is on state property.

Be sure to fill out the Walker Valley Questionaire about conditions during your field trip.
