Yew Too as a loop is flat except for one small excursion into a small dry ravine. It winds through an extensive under story of Canadian yew under mature oaks and some white pine behind the neighborhoods on Royalwood Street and Mill Road. It's great fun to ride fast or slow and provides access to the Mill Road trailhead.
