Dayhike on Timberline Trail from Timberline Lodge to Zigzag Canyon Overlook. No obstacles. Beautiful trail. Moderate grades and climbs to Zigzag Canyon Overlook. I had fantasized about hiking up to Paradise Park, but continuing on past the overlook would require a steep descent down switchbacks of 700 feet, and then climb out of Zigzag Canyon of about 1000 feet so I decided to call it a day at the overlook.
Trail passes the lodge and ski resort infrastructure before entering the Mt. Hood Wilderness. Beautiful views of Mt Hood and the glacial drainages.
