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 2.5 and 3.0mph.  Please sign up only if you know you can maintain that pace.

No water crossings.

No bathrooms at the trailhead -- woods, lotsa woods.

No parking fee.

Please arrive a few minutes early for intro, etc.
