Yellow Trail

Yellow Trail is a 0.5-mile moderate hike in Allison Park, a city-managed park in New Jersey. The trail rises from a low point of about 224 feet to a high of 286 feet, with a total gain of 64 feet, and the steepest part comes around the 0.23-mile mark at a 7% grade. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Teterboro airport weather station put May highs around 73°F and September highs around 78°F. That station sits about 280 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail may run a little cooler. Bikes and horses are not allowed on this route. The Orange Trail and Red Loop both start within about 0.2 miles, and the White Trail is about 0.4 miles away. Across the river in New York, Fort Tryon Park is about 1.9 miles off.
