A popular spot is Zigzag District Old Maid Flats. Lolo Pass Road and Old Maid Flats are easy and quick to reach. Call the Zigzag Ranger Station or check online for conditions. There are no fees charged in this vicinity during the winter, but that means there are no services provided either, so roads and parking lots will not be plowed, making for a less-crowded adventure in the snow (please do not park in private driveways). Directions: Take Hwy 26 up to the Zig Zag Inn. The turn for Lolo Pass Road is across from the Inn and the Ranger Station. Drive north 4 or 5 miles until you see the Forest Service sign marking the entrance to the Mt. Hood Forest, turn right, following signs to Ramona Falls and Road 1825. Park along the road, taking care to not block access by other vehicles. Continue up the road for about half a mile to a gated bridge. Start cross-country skiing or snowshoeing just inside the gate or continue up Last Chance Road. There are several out and back options up to 10-12 miles distance inside the gate. (more…)
