Now here is a popular little hike for the whole family. The nearly
level trail is less than a half mile long and winds along the banks
of the Zig Zag River. In season there is an abundance of wildflowers
to enjoy along the way. Actually, if the access road isn't snowed in,
you can hike this little gem year around.
Remember to always be attentive to your young children if you bring
them to this wonderful place. The water is cold and swift, yet very
delightful on a hot summer day.
The following images are random samples of the wildflowers found in the Mount Hood National Forest.
