Yellow Trail is a 0.8-mile point-to-point hike in New York, about 1.3 miles from South Salem. It rises from 609 feet to 762 feet, with a total elevation gain of 132 feet and a steepest stretch of about 8% at roughly 0.48 miles in. The route is rated moderate. The trail is short enough to fit into a half-hour outing. Dogs are allowed on a leash, and bikes are not. The Green Trail and Blue Trail both start within a quarter mile, and the Orange Trail is about 0.7 miles away, so it's easy to link this hike with others in the area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury, Connecticut, show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 82°F. That station sits about 305 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler.
