Description

The Yellow Trail, approximately 6 miles in length, is a more technical and hilly intermediate trail with scenic stretches along the Huron River and great vistas. The end of the Blue Trail shares a small section of two track with Yellow, and so it's easy to link both Blue and Yellow into a 14+ mile loop.

Every trail needs an old sliding board. This one is near the start of the Crooked Vulture extension loop (aka "Clown's Nightmare").
