Yellow Trail is a 0.41-mile hike on City of Peekskill Land in New York, about 0.4 miles from the town of Peekskill. It is a short, moderate outing with a total elevation gain of 36 feet, so it works well as a quick stop or a link between other trails in the area. The route is a point-to-point path, and the climb is gentle. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.08 miles in, with a 7% grade. The trail also has a small drop of 125 feet, so it's not all uphill. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Shrub Oak run to highs around 71°F in May and 75°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. The White Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and the Riverwalk and Dr. Jekyll mountain biking route are both about 1.2 miles off. Blue Mountain Park, a climbing area, is roughly 1.9 miles away.
