Skiway Sno-Park is a small winter trailhead in the Zigzag Ranger District. To get there, head east from Sandy on US Highway 26 to the Government Camp Loop. It works as a starting point for cross-country skiing and other snow activities.

Parking is tight, with room for only about 10 cars, so it’s smart to have a backup plan. A trailhead board with a map helps you choose a route. There’s no drinking water, so carry your own along with everything else you’ll want for a day in the snow.
