This is an alternate way to ascend or descend the slope to avoid the Powerline Road trail. It connects up with the north ends of the Goat Trail and the Middle Line. As the name suggests, it zig-zags up the hill, wrapping around a big tree, dodging some old downed trees, and pushing through nettles and ferns.

Access Info

Start at the bottom at Puget Way SW just off of West Marginal Way right where the creek flows into the culvert. Or start at the top by 18th Ave SW and Hudson SW.

      		This trail can really take the rain. Yeah, a little greasy here and there, but overall really good shape
