Trail Overview

Yankee Hill is an easy to intermediate trail with some flat and even areas, while others have rocks and other obstacles. The trail has some nice views near pile hill to the North. This trail winds through the forest and is in the active creek bed; the water can sometimes be up to 12 inches. This trail will be great all year long, but it can be narrow in places; wide vehicles should take caution.

Some snow in the shade. Enough for the road to be snow covered. Quite wet in places with some running water on the trail and some decent sized, semi frozen water crossings about a foot deep. Rock gardens we're fun with snow in them.

Yanke Hill/Mosquito Hill before descending into St Mary's city there's still deep snow that's impassable. Spring melt has made this more difficult than I remember it being last year due to wash outs.
