Geocache Description:

This is a well marked trail with a paved parking lot. There is no need for a Northwest trail pass at this trailhead site. The hike is a somewhat short distance up the trail. This cache has been moved further up the trail to a more secure location. The GPS coordinates do bounce around as there is tree covering the sky.

The name of the cache comes from the Zigzag Hotshots who work out of the nearby ranger station. The Zigzag Hotshots are a 20 person elite forest firefighting crew. They use this hike in the early season for conditioning. Their hike is much more involved than what you, as the geocacher will need to endure. The Hotshots "power hike" up the hill as fast as they can to a distance of 2.2 miles. Their goal is to reach a great view point within 45 minutes. If you encounter the Hotshots who wear red t-shirts and green pants, say "hi" and let them pass. The cache is relatively close to the trailhead so a family can have fun finding it. If you feel ambitious, continue up the trail (at your own pace) to the view point. Pack a lunch and plenty of drinking water and make it a day. The cache is a Ammo Can with assorted items contained within. Please sign the logbook. Please tread lightly when retreiving and replacing the cache. The original cache was moved from its location and became MIA, so this cache has been relocated further up the trail. The trailhead coordinates are N 45 20.534 and 121 56.350 W.
