Yellow Knolls Trail Hike

SunRiver Villas residents! Come hike the Yellow Knolls trail on Saturday, July 11th.

The Yellow Knolls trail is most often accessed via the Yellow Knolls trailhead (elevation: 3,940 feet) located off the upper-middle portion of the Cottonwood Road inside the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area. The mostly single track, well-marked, sandy trail is about two miles in length with a cumulative elevation gain of about 440 feet and a total elevation change up and down of about 620 feet, one way.

This is a relatively easy trail suitable for hikers and equestrians, but too sandy in some sections for most bikers. This hike is ideal for birding, horseback riding and admiring the regions swath of gorgeous wildflowers. (Note: Please bring plenty of water and sunscreen.)

The hike is scheduled to leave promptly at 7 a.m. from the Villas Community Center.
