1. Give Rangers more movement points, or - create a spell or skill that halves the movement cost over terrain. Rangers, to me, are about traveling, and moving all the time.
2. Create special areas, or 'paths' through which only Rangers, or Ranger-led parties can pass through. Say there's a zone that takes a long walk to get to... create a shortcut area through a very rugged wilderness area that cuts the travel time in half, or less. Then Rangers will be invited along on some of these 'zoning' trips more often.
I don't think that change would be overpowering, or unbalancing. It would just be a convenience. And there's no end to the RP themes you could develop for these 'short-cuts' - heavy rapids in a river, a vertical cliff, an underwater area, dense forests, swamplands, or tundra.
Roleplaying a Ranger could be more fun that way.
