Wild â 4.3 miles; Total â 4.3 miles. Zigzag River. The Zigzag River arises from the base of Zigzag Glacier at approximately the 5,000-foot elevation on Mt. Hood in Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range. The 4.3-mile segment of the river from its headwaters to the Mt. Hood Wilderness boundary is administered as a wild river. The river flows steeply over mud and pyroclastic flows through a sparsely vegetated area in a narrow canyon. The canyon rim itself and beyond is well-forested.
The Snake Riverâa major tributary of the Columbia Riverâoriginates in the Teton Wilderness, flows north into Yellowstone National Park, and then turns south, passing through the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway into Grand Teton National Park. The river flows through Idaho and joins the Columbia in Washington. The Snake River is 1,040 miles long (1,674 km); 42 miles (68 km) of it are in Yellowstone National Park. The river feeds Jackson Lakeâa natural lake augmented by a dam, resulting in regulated downstream flows since 1907.
