Yellow Trail is a 0.48-mile hike on Town of Webster Land in New York, managed by city land. It is a short, moderate outing with a total elevation gain of 10 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 steepest stretch comes at about 0.26 miles in, with a 4% grade. Bikes are allowed, so it makes an easy addition to a ride on the network of colored trails that surround it. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F with lows near 61°F, while winter brings frequent snow days from December through February. Several other trails sit within a short distance. Brown Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Green Trail, Blue Trail and Black Trail are each about 0.2 mile off.
