Timberline to Town Trail #756 is a 4.87-mile moderate hike in the Zigzag Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back that starts at about 4,126 feet and climbs to a high point of 5,947 feet, with a total gain of 2,043 feet over the round trip. The climb is front-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes at about 2.1 miles in, where the grade reaches 15%. The trail begins near the low point of 4,092 feet and ends at the same elevation, so the full round trip covers about 9.7 miles.
