Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Come enjoy the winters quiet solitude.

The trails at Jake and Bull Mountain are for hikers, cyclists, and horses, but should be relatively empty for a week day hike. The trail grade is gentle and most uphills have curving switchbacks.

I recently travelled these trails and found them easy to follow. The pace will be between 2.0 and 2.5. Please sign up only if you know you can maintain that pace.

There are streams to cross, but if the weather is too cold, we will re-route the hike to drier trails.

We will be back in plenty of time for the AOC social.

There is a porta-potty at the trailhead.

Required Items to Bring:

Lunch, beverage.

Water shoes.

Layered clothing.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hiking poles are entirely optional.

Change of footwear (trails could be muddy). Positive attitude.
