Jack Mountain Trail is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in Washington's Stephen Mather Wilderness, within Ross Lake National Recreation Area. The National Park Service manages the land, and the trail climbs from about 1,919 feet to 5,187 feet, a total gain of 3,253 feet, which makes it a hard route. The trail starts at the low point and reaches the high point on the same route, so the one-way gain is 3,253 feet. Plan for a full day on foot. Several other trails sit within a couple of miles, including Upper Little Jack Trail, Happy Creek Trail and Happy Flats Trail. Green Point Camp Access is about 2.2 miles away.
