Mid-Mountain Trail is a short, easy loop hike in Utah, about 1.9 miles from the town of Forest Home. The trail is roughly 1.5 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 20 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in a single outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Silver Lake Brighton show July highs around 72°F with lows near 47°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F. The trail sits close to other outdoor options. Hunter's Trail of the Mid Mountain and the Ambush mountain biking route are both about 0.3 miles away. Red Pine Lake, about 1.7 miles off, offers fishing, and Spruces Campground, about 4.3 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
