About This Trail
This short, easy trail features a waterfall. It begins by following Little Zig Zag Creek through the forest. This trail is perfect for snow shoeing in the winter and a cool, shaded hike in the summer. At the end of the trail, you can view the falls from several places. If you want to continue your adventure through the woods, there are several small, spur trails you can follow.

Being outside is how I re-charge. It gives me perspective, fills me with gratitude and provides an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. I am fortunate to share this passion with my amazing husband and our son. I was born and raised in the PNW but I love exploring any area I can get to. One of my favorite things about Hike it Baby is that I have a built in community of friends to provide trail suggestions anywhere we go.
