Jack and the Beanstalk is primarily a climbing trail (from Pony Express up to Kung Fu) although can also be ridden in the opposite direction as long as you watch out for climbers. The bulk of this trail is in the woods, but does emerge out of the trees on the edge of 2024's logging after crossing 911. A little higher up it gets into an area that was logged in 2018 so has some new growth trees surrounding it.

When climbing from Pony Express, a few items of note: immediately after the bridge, you'll want to take a sharp left turn or you will end up on 911. Jack and the Beanstalk runs parallel with 911 for a short time before crossing 911 at the Lake Family Forest Preserve bench.

Jack and the Beanstalk dead ends into Kung Fu where you can go left towards the top of The Wall or right towards Rd 2000.

Access points: bottom/southwest end and top/northeast end
