Yellow Knolls Trail
Hiking Trail
Easy
3.87 mi
473 ft
Hike beneath a series of uplifted yellow hills.
The Yellow Knolls trail winds through a beautiful valley below a series of uplifted yellow rock domes from whence it gets its name.
The initial stretch of trail heads through a wide-open field on a narrow track alternating between packed dirt and sand sections. Then, the trail "descends into a valley and curves around this first mountain, taking you out onto the yellow stone, where you can explore the open rock landscape," writes Lana Law on []( "This is the highlight of the hike, but the trail continues on, ascending to a high point for a view over the surrounding hills and rock formations," she continues.
During the spring, this area is a popular spot for viewing desert wildflowers. If you come to view the flowers, be sure to take only pictures and leave only footprints. Don't touch the flowers!
