Yellow Trail is a 0.43-mile point-to-point hike in Winn Preserve, a non-governmental organization-managed property in New York. It rises from 1,101 feet to 1,266 feet, with a total elevation gain of 111 feet and a steepest grade of about 23% at 0.34 miles into the route. The trail is rated moderate. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Delanson put May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F. That station sits roughly 280 feet below the trail, so temperatures on the route run a bit cooler. The trail is part of a network of short routes, with Blue Trail about 0.2 miles away, White Trail about 0.3 miles, and Green Trail about 0.5 miles. Climbers can find Cave Wall and Mahican Section about 4.7 miles off.
