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.

I recently travelled these trails and found them easy to follow. The pace will be between 2.8 and 3.0mph. Please sign up only if you know you can maintain that pace.

There are streams to cross, water shoes are needed. The water will cool us off!

There is a might be a porta- potty at the trailhead.

Trailhead by 10am. Finish hike by 3:30pm. Back to carpool by 3:30 pm.

To qualify for this event: you must have a D3 or higher from this year.

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 if it has recently rained). Positive attitude. Bag for footwear.
