Itinerary:

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.

We have 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, so you will need water shoes - we will stop and enjoy the coolness of the water and our snack/lunch.

There is a porta-potty at the trailhead.

If you plan to meet at the event, please be at the trailhead at 9AM.

Required Items to Bring:

Lunch, beverage.

Water shoes.

Smiles.

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

Hiking poles are entirely optional.

Change of footwear. More smiles.

This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
