Iron Mountain: Yellow Trail

Mountain Biking Trail

Moderate
5.53 mi
591 ft
Extended climb with a sweet, flowy descent.

Yellow Trail (YT) is a loop extension of Green Trail (GT). YT is a lot like GT, in that it has a long, extended, although gentle, climb; but the long, flowy descent is well worth the effort.

You have the option to bypass YT and just continue the GT loop back to the trailhead, however, you will miss a nice ride.

To ride YT follow the paved road across the bridge, which has a great view of the large earthen dam holding back DeGray Lake’s water, and keep an eye out for the entrance on the left to the single track. It is only about 100 yards on pavement.

When you return back to the pavement return to where you exited GT and resume the loop to the left. Written by Bob Robinson
