The White-Yellow Trail is an easy hike in Connecticut, about 0.7 miles from the community of Lamson Corner. The route is 1.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 146 feet, and it is a point-to-point trail rather than a loop. The trail is rated easy, and it is open to bikes. The steepest part comes at about 0.86 miles in, where the grade reaches 19 percent. The climb starts at roughly 695 feet and peaks at about 808 feet. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burlington show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Several other trails sit close by. The Yellow Diamond Trail is 0.8 miles away, and the Blue-Orange Trail and Blue-Green Trail are each about 1.2 miles off. Climbers can find the Burlington Fish Hatchery Boulders about 2.2 miles away.
