About

Little Yellow Mountain is a summit in Mint Springs Park, about 2 miles from Crozet, Virginia. It sits within a cluster of trails, several of them used for mountain biking, so the park makes a convenient base for combining a summit visit with time on the surrounding routes. Fall is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station in Waynesboro records typical October highs around 68°F with lows near 43°F, and September highs average about 78°F, before the heat of July and August, when typical highs reach the mid-80s. The closest routes are Little Yellow Trail, Fire Trail and Hollow Trail, all about 0.2 miles away, and Big Survey Trail is roughly 0.4 miles off. For paddling, Moormans River is about 4 miles away.
