The Yellow Trail is one of the main trails into the Monoliths. As you travel along this densely wooded trail, in the spring and summer be on the lookout for several vernal pools. Also known as ephemeral pools, autumnal pools, and temporary woodland ponds, these pools fill in the autumn and winter and are usually dry by the middle of the summer. These pools are vital parts of the New England woodland ecosystem. Many amphibians, like salamanders, newts, and frogs, and insects, like fairy shrimp, breed and lay their eggs in these pools. This is a great trail for anyone interested in the ecology of Cape Ann. A map of the other trails in Monolith Park can be found here: thetrustees.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/monoliths-trail-map.pdf
