Description

Second Yellow Mule provides public access through the Yellowstone Club to Forest Service land. It climbs through logged areas, then steeply up to the ridge dividing Second and Third Yellow Mule Creeks, ultimately gaining the ATV trail on top of Buck Ridge. It's a more gradual climb than First Yellow Mule.
