Yellow Trail (Upper Updraft) is a short, easy mountain biking route in Graham Hills County Park in New York, on land managed by the county. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at about 483 feet and reaches a high point of 603 feet, with a total climb of 309 feet over a 1.2-mile round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.5 miles in, with a 7% grade. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, while July averages climb to about 83°F. The trail sits just 0.1 mile from the Tumbleweed mountain biking route and the White Trail hike, making it easy to pair with another outing.
