West Zig Zag Mountain Hike

Activity Notes

Let's all go hike West Zig Zag Mountain! 11 miles, 3,000 elevation gain, this hike is sure to be a challenge. We'll follow the steep trail up to the top of West Zig Zag, passing spots where we'll be able to take in a few nice views of Mt. Hood. We'll finish our hike at the summit with a few views of the valley. <br> <br> Meeting location and time: Gateway Transit Center by the stairs towards the Max entrance, 8:00 am. We will be leaving Gateway Transit Center a few minutes after 8:00 am. Due to the length of the hike and shorter days, I encourage participants to bring a head lamp if they have one. Please bring the 10 essentials, food, money for gas (10 cents a mile, at 80 miles round trip). 

We will be traveling at a 2 MPH pace or more. If you cannot hike at at least that pace, please do not sign up for this hike since we will be limited on the amount of daylight.
