Yellow Trail

Starting in the parking lot adjacent to the "Mansion", a marker will guide you to the beginning of the !Yellow Trail. The trail will induce some serious skcepticisim over the first 1/8 of a mile, but then the trail settles into singletrack. It is easy enough to follow. The trail is well-blazed, and all you need to do is continue to follow the blazes and the "yellow trail" signs. This will take you onto and across a couple of roads during the first mile or so. Bear with it. Setting a low bar allows for things to get better. The trail will continue to loop around, rolling up and down hills for about 3.5 miles until you reach another parking area where the trail ends (or begins, if you want to do it in reverse). There are a few interconnecting trails (at least two-White and Blue) that allow for loops and extended distances and exploration. This is about as pretty of a hike as I have had in this area.
