Walker is a must stop if you want a leisurely drive to one of the tallest mountain peaks closest to the Hood Canal. 100-year-old Douglas fir trees cover the thriving mountain, which was once burned down by a fire. An abundance of songbirds can be seen and heard from the Mt. Walker viewpoints as well as other birds, such as hawks, owls and grouse. In the distance,​ major metropolitan areas can be seen. Everett is 33 miles away to the north and seen from the north viewpoint; Seattle, 28 miles to the west as seen from the south viewpoint and Tacoma is 39 miles away, also seen from the south viewpoint.
