Little Zig Zag Falls Hike Description

Well-maintained and suitable for all outdoor enthusiasts, the Little Zig Zag Falls Hike is perfect for anyone who loves waterfalls or simply wants to get out of their vehicle to stretch their legs.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way east along the path and into the tree cover. Here, you will enjoy the serene forest landscape as you hike alongside the sound of flowing water from the creek on your right.

Eventually, you will arrive at the viewing platform for Little Zig Zag Falls, where you can gaze out at the impressive cascade and revel in the beauty of Mount Hood National Forest. The trail extends a bit further to the southeast, but quickly brings you to an endpoint. From there, simply turn back along the trail in order to make your way back to the parking area.
