Driving Directions

To get to the West Zigzag Trailhead, go to the community of Zigzag on U.S. 26 18 miles East of Sandy and 10 miles West of Government Camp. Go North on the Lolo Pass Road (forest service road 18) for 0.4 miles (two lanes paved). Just after the (new in 2006) bridge over the Zigzag River, turn right (East) on East Mountain Drive. This road is gravel with extreme potholes. Go 0.6 miles to the trailhead at the end of the road. The trailhead is just a wide place on the side of the road.
