foothills flashlight winter hike - jack's mountain - February 16, 2026

A bit more daylight each day! But still, bring a headlamp and dress in layers. There are a few different routes to choose from on this brisk 2-hour hike behind the "H" rock, but they are all STEEP. If there is snow on the foothills, micro spikes or other studded footwear will be needed. If inversion is in, we'll move the hike into Millcreek to get above it. Dogs are ok.
