Itinerary description
A nice forest/canyon trail
This is the upper part of the trail.
Take the Schnebly Hill Road. This rough and rocky road is recommended for higher clearance vehicles, but some regular cars make it to the trailhead.
When the asphalt ends, drive through the gate.
After a couple of miles you pass another gate at Merry-Go-Round.
This gate may be closed after rain/snow and as late as April.
Past the gate, as the road turns to the right, park at the signed Munds Wagon Trail parking.
Hike back about 50 Yards and pick up the Schnebly hill trail on the left.
Hike this trail up the old wagon trail. As the trail turns left keep on going straight ahead. (this point was no longer marked in April 2011).
The trialhead is left of Munds Mountain, just in the saddle with the pine trees.
Hike past the Hotloop trailhead until you meet another Hotloop trailhead and the Munds mountain trailhead.
The Jacks canyon trailhead starts to the left.
Hike down into the canyon, the trail will cross the canyon wash a couple of times and the trail is sometimes more difficult to follow.
Going down is easy, but you have to go up again.....
Stop at the halfway point, the rest of the trail is for another day.

Hiking time: 2 Hour return, from the parking to the trailhead.
4 Hour, 40 Minutes return, from the parking to the halfway point.
When the gate is closed at Merry-Go-Round add 15 minutes return to your hiking time.
