PACIFIC CREST TRAIL ASSOCIATION
MT. HOOD CHAPTER

Landslide in Zigzag Canyon

The heavy rains of recent days have caused new landslide activity in the Zig Zag canyon.  The PCT is currently impassable to stock, and dangerous for hikers.  The FS hopes to get an emergency crew out to improve the trail enough for hikers, but, for stock a more long term solution will need to be implemented, likely next summer.  (This slide area is near the same spot where a new bridge to repair an older slide had just been installed.)
