Trail E is a short, out-and-back cross-country ski route in New York, about 1.2 miles from the town of Palisades. The trail is just over half a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 77 feet, and it starts and ends at about 479 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.21 miles in, where the grade reaches 8 percent. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Dobbs Ferry-Ardsley show January highs around 40°F and lows near 23°F, while February runs a little warmer, with highs around 43°F. That station sits about 280 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a bit cooler. Several other routes lie close by. Trail C and Trail D are both about 0.3 miles away, and the Long Path; Ski Trail E is about 0.3 miles off. For climbing, Orange Hill Bouldering is about 1.2 miles away.
