To identify a participial phrase, look for a verb form that ends in -ing or -ed and functions as an adjective. In this case, "staring" is the participle form of the verb "stare," and it describes Jack's action. The phrase "staring down the mountain" modifies or describes Jack and is therefore a participial phrase.
