    Hiking

    This is an awe-inspiring spot to take photos worthy of any hikers collection. There is a clear view of the Mount Hood summit, Zigzag Glacier and Illumination Rock. It is a great resting spot for Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers and Timberline Trail backpackers to stop and take a break before the long descent into the canyon.
