Lee's Leap (Yellow).
Lee's Leap (Yellow) is a short 0.3-mile trail in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or connector between longer routes. The yellow blazing keeps it distinct from other marked paths in the area. At under half a mile, expect minimal elevation change and a walk that takes most hikers well under 30 minutes round-trip.
